Windows 7 lack of drivers acer aspire series m

Original title:

I recently bought a used acer aspire series m & it came with windows 7 in it. To get acquainted with it I realized that I have a lot of missing drivers!

My question is after discovering that it came stock with windows 8 and not being not not be able to download windows 7 drivers you lack acer site because under the drivers available for my exact model # it offers only windows drivers 8 - WHAT DO I DO? Am I forced to buy windows 8 or I am somehow able to obtain from microsoft or acer?

Just a wild stab here, do you know if the hidden recovery partition is still intact? Well, you can find, turn off your computer. Now, back on the power and as soon as you see the ACER LOGO, press left ALT + F10 keys. If you see the "loading files screen, then you are to reset your computer to factory default settings, but if you do not, the recovery partition has disappeared and you may need to order a set of. ACER recovery disks.

How can I restore my computer using the eRecovery Management program?

    You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

    Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

    Install it.

    Reset.

    Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

    Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

    I have an acer aspire V3 - 571G, unfortunately, I lost my hard = active operating system disc

    I found a way to get the serial number of the bios, but I need to know the version of operating system, I installed windows 8 pro but he would not accept the activation code... so can you please help me?

    If this isn't Pro, he is very probably Windows 8 (Core). This is the standard edition of windows 8 and is called only (Basic) to distinguish it from the OS itself.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate, computer laptop Acer Aspire E15 built into the camera problem.

    I have a strange problem.

    I am running

    The laptop model is

    and first of all, as you can see - Acer only provides drivers for this model of laptop for windows 8, which is crazy because for ex I am running windows 7 on it or what do I do if I want to downgrade to windows XP, how to get drivers for my laptop?

    So my web cam driver was automatically installed with windows, BUT there is a problem.

    My camera only works with Skype and Firefox/Chrome.

    Skype recognizes it normally:

    but no other software can find and use the camera.

    webcam7 even after choosing the webcam as a source gives just a black screen:

    In addition to this, the windows software standard that normally comes with the windows called Camera - does not exist.

    The camera appears under devices.

    I tried to uninstall the driver. Install a new one. I tried everything I could find online, and nothing seems to work.

    It's almost a new laptop and it's crazy that I can't use such a common feature as the webcam.

    I'll send the same message to the customer of the Acers and see what is going, they say, but I reached a wall and do not know which can then do?

    TNX for taking the time to read this and any effort to help in the future :)

    Hello

    Please provide a detailed description of the issue with the screen shots.

    I certainly understand the inconvenience caused to you. However, I appreciate really all your efforts towards the resolution of the problem.

    1. You did it all hardware or software change on the computer?

    There could be a possibility that this issue would have occurred due to the damaged in the system device drivers.

    I want to provide you with the information that most Acer computers are preinstalled webcam application supplied by the manufacturer with the device. Uninstall and reinstall this application has helped many users of Acer for this problem to be solved.

    I suggest you follow the procedure recommended in the article given below for that matter Acer support.

  • Windows 7, lack of drivers (solved)

    I accidentally erased Windows 8 on my computer, so I bought a copy of Windows 7 and installed on a 100 GB partition. The problem is drivers are missing, he said: the network controller, 2 base system devices and the SM bus controller. (Initially the ethernet controller and PCI simple communications controller were lack as well, but I got the LAN driver from the manufacturer's website and they are ok now). I have not internet wireless on Windows, just wired. I tried to install driver wireless by the manufacturer, as well as searching the Internet for missing drivers - all to nothing doesn't. I have Gentoo Linux works perfectly on another partition, so I'm not exactly a newbie, but that left me speechless, and I don't know what a base system device is, much less how to find a driver for it.  Can anyone help?

    Thank you, Bill. The computer is a gateway NE56R. The gateway wireless driver did not work, but the wireless controller is a Realtek RTL8188CE, and I got a job site Web of Realtek driver. For anyone reading this who has a similar problem, the SM Bus controller is in driver chipset on the Gateway Web site, and I ran lspci under Linux, matched the PCI bus, device, and function numbers that Windows Me has given and discovered that the base system devices are for the location of card reader. I found no drivers for them, but it is a trifle compared Wireless does not. Thanks again!

  • Just did the upgrade of Windows 10. Think I need drivers for ACER ASPIRE 5552?

    Hi guys

    I'm helping a friend get his ACER ASPIRE 5552 work fine with Windows 10.

    We took a bet that the W7 to W10 upgrade would be ok, but we hit a few glitches to overcome.

    We want to back up as soon as possible once it working properly.

    1.

    Can anyone tell me please where I can get the right driver for Ethernet and WifI because wifi now seems to work fine.

    2.

    But there are ALSO all the other drivers who have updated the 5552 have found it necessary to download and install - for example Chipset, sounds, etc...?  .... Of course, it makes sense that ask us those who've already done...

    3.

    In addition, she has a HP printer, which now does not seem to communicate. I guess we have to go to the site of HP and DOWNLOAD - except - are there known problems?

    Thanks in advance for any help guys

    RattleFizzbang

    > We took a gamble that the W7 to W10 upgrade would be ok >

    Agreed. Now, I suggest that you first check the Win10 Device Manager and note devices and models numbers that seem to have problems. Because the laptop has more working network adapters, you must do a google search from another computer for updated Win10 drivers that you can download for each device problem. For some systems, this can be a long and formidable process. If it were mine, I would upgrade to Win 7 as fast as I could.
