• Windows 7 OEM on Acer laptop re-installed, now have the problem of activation key.

  Hi, I'm new here.

  I bought an Acer laptop last time that built in Windows 7 Home premium installed in it.

  recently, I have been having a driver conflict that caused the blue screen and I cannot load windows more than little time after. a guy tried to fix with another version of windows, and the result is that I lost the files of recovery which is supposed to be in the drive.

  I use a Windows 7 trial now and it does not accept my previous license... How to solve this?

  Should I get a specific Windows 7 home download?

  Thanks in advance.

  I recently had to do a restore to factory on my computer dell laptop. It went well until he took me to the login screen and I entered my password is not working. I can't get past this login screen. I have seen a lot of messages that say to insert the disc of vista and re - install. I tried to do, and nothing happened when I put the disc.

• How can I restore my Acer laptop running windows Vista to the factory specifications?

  I was given an Acer Aspire laptop. It is running Windows Vista with 512 MB memory RAM. It has been used and I want to try to restore it to the factory specifications. How can I do this? I tried system restore and it fails every time.

  Hello

  you have a very low amount of RAM to run Vista

  System Restore should not perform a recovery plant

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

  ____________________________________________________________

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  Acer is usually press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process or through the Acer eRecovery Management under all programs

  __________________________________________________________

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Dell etc recovery disk

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

• Acer laptop does not start after the blue screen

  After I got a blue screen (flashed by too fast to see the error message) when I try to reboot my acer 5610Z laptop computer with vista home edition, usually nothing happens at all. sometimes windows is trying to run the Startup Repair tool, then crashes and only a cursor flashing at a black screen.  Tried to open the case and clean the Fan & Heatsink heat to air without effect.

  The blue screen came a few days after I started using a new USB mouse, but the fan seemed to get high a few days earlier.

  But I noticed it will make the road to startup repair only if the battery is in, and never if only the power cord is attached.  Also, if I let the computer sit for several days, it is more likely start (even though he never passed from the Startup Repair).

  1. try the system restore.

  2. try to do a startup repair disk.

  3 acer Recovery Options.

  4. contact Acer.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  See you soon.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista repair disc.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  There is not a disk of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  1. on the Acer splash screen, you can press Alt and F10 (at the same time press F2 to enter the BIOS) to make it appear a version BACK style eRecovery.

  ·        The unit is able to reload Windows from this mode faster then CD.

  ·        The default password is 000000 (6 zeros) and it is shown when you are prompted for the password.

  ·        Users are able to change the password in this mode for eRecovery only.

  ·        The system can retrieve the hidden on the hard disk (partition PQService) image or a CD/DVD media.

  ·        It is possible to reload the factory CD/DVD style or snapshots that creates the eRecovery Windows version.

  2. in Windows, there are 3 ways to access eRecovery functionality.

  ·        Press Alt and F10

  ·        Open Acer eManager and then double-click eRecovery.

  ·        When a system is new it should automatically open this application and invite you to do the recovery media.

• my computer acer laptop with vista stops automatically after using it for a while...

  anyone with any suggestions why this is so... I change my hardware, and I got service pack 2 installed.

  Is vista home edition.

  Hi oumzin

  
  1. have you modes sleep or hibernation, working on the computer?
  2. during how long have you had this problem?
  3. what changes did you do before the show?
  4. do you have the question start after the installation of service pack 2?

  Method 1:

  You can check if the problem happens again in safe mode. In safe mode; you have access to only the drivers and base files.
  Check out the link to start the computer in safe mode and then check-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

   

  Method 2:

  If you are not faced with the question in safe mode, then you can check in a clean boot state. To perform the clean boot follow step 1 mentioned in the article below, and then try again check in the clean boot state -

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  If the problem is resolved check which service non-Microsoft is the source of the problem; referring to article and following the other steps.

   When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  a. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  b. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

  c. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  I hope this helps.

• I had a virus on my computer acer laptop and thought restoring factory setings it would solve the problem. It wiped everything, including my computer windows. How can I get my computer running again and what I look at?

  the screen that appears whenever I start my computer says "windows boot manager, windows did not start." a recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

  fie: \windows\system32\winload.exe

  status: 0xc000000e

  Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.

  A factory restore should you restore your computer to its state when you bought it. If the factory restore did not work, you have to be a problem with the hardware or the original image. Do factory restore using the recovery disks, not the recovery image on the hard drive. Alternatively, you can contact Acer technical support about the error since it is their original which has been restored. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• I have an acer laptop and need to brighten the screen... How?

  I have a laptop acer and need to brighten the screen > HOW?

  There are two options:

  • It seems that you are using Windows XP. Right-click on your desktop, click Properties, and then select the settings tab and click Advanced. There should be a tab named after that card manufacturer (Nvidia, ATI, etc.). This tab should have a button that opens a panel of controls specific to the manufacturer, which allows you to make adjustments to the video card, including the color/brightness.
  • Laptops usually have a touch of "function" (Fn), you can stick it together with other keys to adjust some of the properties of your laptop. These other keys are the regular with symbols keyboard or keys drawings next to them, usually in a different color. Looking for a symbol that resembles the brightness, like a Sun. When you find it, press and hold down the Fn key, then click on in the special key that you just found.

• System Restore does not work and vista freezes for the screen of microsoft corporation. I can not load even safe mode

  Hello

  A few days ago my laptop started to freeze. I noticed that the system recovery tool did not work either and now it's even worse. When I turn on my laptop

  It goes back to a black screen and the freezer. I tried the recovery since the start of the loading system, but it just says loading files and changes to the screen of microsorf corporation and still works.

  Sometimes when booting, it would say that the laptop was turned hard and give 2 options to start the computer normally or start recovery performance. When I press any button, the laptop freezes and must be activated manually.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated
