Cannot install Ubuntu 14.04.2 on Acer Aspire E5 - 511G with Windows 8
Hello. I have tried everything I can to install Ubuntu 14.04.2 alongside Windows 8 on my laptop and I'm not going to be successful. I have Ubuntu on a USB key, and whatever I have, I get the message "the system has no USB boot option." So far, I have:
-Disabled the quick start.
-Disabled Secure Boot UEFI firmware settings.
-Tried to set the USB FDD and USB HDD at the top of the order of priority of Boot and Windows Boot Manager to the lowest priority.
These measures appear to allow most people to access Ubuntu on their flash drive, but it does not work for me. Anyone know what I can try? Is there anyone here who has the same model and who has installed Ubuntu?
If USB is not, probably you did not create a proper EFI bootable USB.
Rufus allows you to create a bootable USB flash drive, selecting only for UEFI system.

Please re-enable secure too boot.

PROBLEM WITH MY LAPTOP CONFIG AND SYSTEM.
I'm running Windows 7 64, but when I read the configuration of the system, they are all noted 32? Why is this? I bought my Acer Aspire 7750 g with windows 7 64. It has been preloaded. I am VERY confused!When you view this file.
If you check through the Task Manager > processes (tab) some will note * 32 because they are native 32-bit applications running on a 64-bit operating system.

AMD update Acer Aspire V5 - 122 with Windows 10
my pc was born W8.1 and has been updated to W10, a few months ago.
2 weeks ago, that I was asked to accept a new update of my processor AMD A6. Apparently, I was not successful and never loaded Windows. I tried a lot of things until I was able to reinstall a previous fixpoint (?). Not the first but the fourth back in time. Apparently the disk with Windows was locked, and I had no idea how I'd get further than the frozen Acer logo. However, this time Windows is.
Then yesterday I was informed waiting two updates AMD Radeon Crimson 16.3.1, and I agreed. However, I'm now stuck again and this time I don't have the fixpoint since February longer, and I'm stuck. Are not responsible for such damage AMD or Acer and how to fix it? My pc doesn't have a cd player and no startup key.
Maybe a 10 Windows update or update of the 'Compulsory' driver Windows 10. I have my Windows Update set for Windows may not download or install the updates until I check them and let him and I do not have Windows 10. I tried and don't think it has all the benefits plus 8.1 and rolled back.

It was working fine until this morning. When I turned it on I was told an update for flash player was available and I hit install. There was a mistake and since then no touchpad. I tried the news of mouse in the Control Panel, but he said it works very well. Any ideas?

Acer Aspire 5000 XP to Windows 7, cannot detect the audio drivers
original title: Acer Aspire 5000 XP to Windows 7
I recently updated my Acer Aspire in XP to Windows 7 5000. The process went well, but now he says it detects all audio devices. I checked the control panel and go to the sound section and it says that no devices are installed. Also, I am having some problems with graphics (a few black lines appear every now and then). I'd appreciate your help with this. Thank you!
There are no Windows 7 drivers for your model, something that you should have checked before the upgrade.
There are Vista drivers on the Acer site which may operate, but don't hold your breath...

If they are not, return your machine back to XP, if you want to keep all the features...

I got an Acer Aspire One 110 with Linpus Linux lite. Nobody has updated, so the browser to this topic is Firefox 2.0.0.14, which is a major concern for safety.
The latest version of linux that works properly (as shown) is Firefox 7.0.1. Some people have reported problems from Firefox 8 in Linpus Lite.
So I need to find a link where I can download this version of Firefox, in Finnish (apparently lang = fi - FI) because Mozilla has removed his breaks like a stale version.
However, as it is the most recent version to work properly under Linpus Linux Lite (and also in view of the features of the Acer Aspire One 110), I could really use a download link for this version of Firefox, 7.0.1 in Finnish language.
You can download it here
