Windows 7 on desktop 603

I bought an Acer AXC-603-UR10 that contains a Pentium J2900 processor, which is part of the Bay Trail-D family. Like many other people, I fell on the support forums Acer seeking an update of the BIOS that will add CSM or start-up "inherited", which allowed me to install no UEFI, operating systems, like windows 7, or those of the BSD family.

In response to the desire of customers Acer to use an operating system other than Windows 8, Acer support staff members have made many misleading messages, saying the Bay Trail-D processors do not support 'legacy' or start CSM. Meanwhile, other computer manufacturers are selling same Bay Trail-D processors that contain Acer with the CSM or legacy BIOS support products. Acer staff are inadequate, restrictive, BIOS can't handle not 'legacy' or start CSM, as being fully featured, blaming the absence of 'legacy' or MSC in charge, on the processors themselves, that completely wrong.

By Wikipedia - I would use a source more academically credible if I could find that one are six Bay Trail-D processors. Four of these processors are Celeron J1750, J1800, J1850 and J1900. The other two are the Pentium J2850 and J2900. There are many references to these processors supported in "legacy" or start-up CSM.

Here are the efforts of the community to resolve the problem created Acer, Acer decided not include "legacy" or MSC startup in products containing Bay Trail-D processors. The guys are red to an earlier version of Acer BIOS which supports "legacy" or start-up CSM:

A revealing review on new egg of Steven C. concerning a DT of Acer Trail Bay - D. SUVAA.002. Steven claims he bought the Acer desktop computer, delivered with legacy or support CSM, but if someone upgrades the BIOS, they lose "legacy" or support CSM:

The Dell Vostro 20 all-in - One 3015 contains the exact same pentium J2900 processor contains the office, that I have purchased from Acer, but it supports "legacy" or start-up CSM:
http://www.Dell.com/support/home/Hu/Hu/hubsdt1/drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=PPGC0&FILEID=33892491...

Page 35 of the Dell Vostro 20 all-in-One 3015 owner's manual indicates "legacy" or mode MSC is supported for processors of Bay Trail-D same exact containing the Acer 603:
http://topics-CDN.Dell.com/PDF/Vostro-20-3015-aio_Owner%27s%20Manual_en-us.PDF

Once again, Bay Trail-processors D, which can be seen in the product page of the Dell Vostro 20 all-in-One 3015, legacy Dell Media or boot CSM:
http://www.Dell.com/HK/en/business/p/Vostro-20-3015-AIO/FS

As per the evidence posted above, Bay Trail-D processors support in effect "legacy" or MSC mode, despite false representations of Acer support staff. Acer customers shouldn't be locked out by using the operating system of their choice and mislead to believe that the processor that they have purchased does not support this operating system. I never saw a computer company deceive its customers by blaming inadequate BIOS, they released a line of processors. Acer needs to lie to their customers and release an official BIOS update that takes in charge 'legacy' or CSM starting immediately.

    I don't know if this is a characteristic of my video display driver or if it can be changed in Windows.

    I would like any advice or comments on this situation.

    It also happens on my Windows 7 laptop.

  • An invisible window on my desktop. __

     
    I have this strange invisible window on my desktop.
     
    I only found it because it was covering some of my icons and I could not click on them, after further investigation I could find (but not see) the invisible window by changing horizontal and vertical resizing cursor, I knew the window was ther, but I could not see, I could resize the window and even guess where the narrow X would be on the invisible window and close it , but it comes back.
     
    What is this window and I don't see it and get rid of it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I noticed exactly the same thing. I have my mouse over icons near the top left corner and I noticed on certain area like 1 x 1 inch or so I couldn't click on the icons below him.

    It's so weird to have such invisible window covering part of the office. I do not, it is not normal behavior.

    I don't understand what program could do it again. I have Nod32 latest scanned my system - no viruses.

    Really weird.

    I urge people to cover their desktop with icons and then start looking with the mouse if there is no area that prevents interaction with the desktop icons. We need to know what is the cause. Could be bug, could be a new spyware?

    EDIT: POSSIBLE SOLUTION

    Wow, just as I wrote this post, I found a possible solution to the invisible window on desktop.

    Called Drive Manager Desktop Gadget is to start creating invisible window named Form1 on my Windows 7 64 bit. I don't know why it does, I can kill it in the Task Manager and gadget still works. Maybe bad coding?

    In any case, after closing form1 application gadget or murder I can click again on the box office. I hope this helps others - try closing your Google desktop gadgets.

  • How to save a position and dimensions of windows on the desktop?

    How to save a position and dimensions of windows on the desktop?

    In Vista, there are limited means of control Windows and many of those who apply to the general patterns and not to individual windows.

    The following includes about what Vista can offer in this area, and I don't think that this will do exactly what you want (even if it is possible that the first option with references to other related articles can do a little of that, but I don't think that he can do everything or entirely as you wish without 3rd party help) except for the 3rd party program that winsizeme also mentioned below.  That may do the trick:

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets thefolder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how to resetthe Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase theview of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with,open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the goodFile menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program WinSizeMehttp://www.pcmag.com/article2/0, 2817,2339650,00.asp to resize them and record the sizes and locations (I changed the program that mentioned in the article, because even if it is a Vista article, the 3rd referenced application part it does not indicate speciiquement is compatible with Vista so that it doesn't).  I have never personally used this program myself so I can't say for some it will achieve your goals, but from what I've read on this subject, it should do the trick (although I don't think it will be automatic - you may need to set each window you want to save in this way - but that's about all that's available if you need to decide whether or not this alternative is better or) (no).  I'm not certain if it applies to programs or only records - but since it's free you can test and see if it helps you with your situation (it may be that it is useful in some cases and not the worth or effective in others - it of for you to decide (but considers that there is really no other alternative that those presented here - just Vista is not this type of detailed features except to a lesser extent) as described in section 1 above).

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she claims it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the prior links provided:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)  I include it only because it is an option - but also what he says it is not a very good alternative (but if none of the other works, it may be worth).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    1. You scan of bases of safety of Microsoft or any other security software installed on the computer?

    Enable the option Show hidden files and see if you can correctly view the contents of the files.

    I suggest you analyze your computer Microsoft Safety Scanner, it will help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • Windows 8 for Windows 10 remote desktop does not

    I have a Windows 10 remote desktop machine I connect often. In this configuration course I am able to open an Office Session remotely with the following platforms:

    1. My phone Windows 8
    2. My Ubuntu (using Remmina) office

    The problem is related to my PC Windows 8.1. I checked the following:

    • Remote connections are allowed on the remote PC
    • The remote PC is allowed to enable any PC to connect
    • The remote PC is turned on

    Ref: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remote-desktop-app-faq#1TC=windows-8

    I also tried to go to:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default

    in the registry to delete the cache would be ins journal as well. I also deleted Default.rpd in My Documents as well.

    Problem:

    When I try to connect to the Windows 10 computer, the connection is established, but the connection is not accepted (keep in mind, I used this access using RDP connection on my Windows Phone and my PC Ubuntu). For some reason it does not accept my password.

    Any ideas?

    The other computer I have Windows 8 running is infected by malicious software and the browser is hijacked. It seems that the browser hijacking had been reduced to my new computer during synchronization. Both computers are now almost unusable.

    If I reinstall Windows 8 is possible to turn off synchronization so that it will not happen again.

  • How to make Thunderbird out of 10 Windows on the desktop homepage

    My wife just upgraded to Windows 10 and Foxfire, and Thunderbird are absent from the Office home page. We rely on Thunderbird to our email, and I have no idea how to get the Thunderbird account on her computer now. He is hidden somewhere in this new Windows OS (I hate that already!)? Or do I have to go through the entire download and installation and configuration both programs all over again? My wife did not have backups of windows 7 as she should have, so it is not nothing saved which is useful for this purpose. What should I do BEFORE starting the process of upgrade on my PC (which I use now) or my laptop, which continue to run Windows 7? 75 I'm tired of all the current evolving, which none did calculation easier or faster, just more difficult. Give me Windows 98SE - was by far the easiest to use and easy to reinstall and not lose anything.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Changes with the upgrade to Windows 10 depends on the base of Windows. If you have Windows 7/8/8.1, all your programs and files reside.

    For your wife's computer, maybe it's just that the shortcuts on the desktop were removed, but Firefox and Thunderbird are still installed. To check this, open Windows Explorer and access the C:\Program Files (x 86)folder. You can find"Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird folder.

    For your computer, if you want to be more careful, take a look at this support article: back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.
