  • Acer Aspire One D257-13450 fixed size window too big for the screen

    I have an Acer Aspire One D257-13450 running Windows 7 Starter Edition, and when I open some windows (e.g. Brother MFC 990CW control of scanning parameters), the window is too large to be completely displayed on the screen. The bottom of the window is hidden under the bottom edge of the physical screen.  The window can me moved around the screen as usual but I can't move it to the top of the screen enough to see the bottom of the window - this is where the selection of options for this window buttons. This particular window has only a close button in the upper right and not the usual buttons Minimse or restore down. I have connected a monitor external and also adjusted the screen resolution and nothing doesn't affect the ability to resize the window and get off at the buttons of options I need. I was able to guess the buttons under the edge of the screen by using the tab key to tab through all the options in this window, but it is not very satisfactory. Any suggestions please?

    Many netbooks with Starter have only a 1024 x 600 screen - if the program needs a minimum of 1024 x 768 it may not work or may not display all. But it wouldn't be because of the netbook, Windows.

  • Reinstall Windows 7 Starter Acer Aspire One D257

    I have an Acer Aspire One D257. It has no built in DVD / Draw.  It came pre-installed with "windows 7 starter" I don't have a disc of recovery etc for this program. Last year I used widows any time upgrade to install "windows 7 Home premium upgrade," which has been installed via the internet by a Microsoft technician. Then I had the upgrade key sent to me by e-mail, what's left.  Later, I had problems with the computer and decided to windows 7 from re - stall. I visited the Microsoft site and downloaded the program on a USB Home premium windows 7 (32-bit).  I have this installed successfully in the D257 of Acer. But I was unable to activate with my key upgrade Windows 7 Home premium, for some reason any he does not accept it?  So now that I have a dilemma, I have a key that has cost about £76,00 for the upgrade that seems unnecessary.  Also, I am unable to revert to the original "windows 7 starter", as the system restore will allow me only to come back to a point in time that is after I installed windows 7 about 2 weeks ago. How can I fix this without having to buy another program again. P.S. I use an external DVD draw if I need. Can anyone help please.

    Original title: bobgoodman1706

    Hi thanks for the info. Unfortunately, the recovery was wiped out when I installed the new windows 7. However, I have now solved the problem by buying a new product key that has been a success so now have windows 7 home premium installed and fully active. Thanks to everyone who tried to help me.

  • Windows 7 on Acer Aspire One D257 freezes constantly

    I recently bought an Acer Aspire One with Windows 7 Starter edition D257. It constantly freezes, random.

    Sometimes, after a minute after the start, sometimes up to 15 minutes later. I ran the program of recovery without success.

    Any ideas?

It was literally freezing every time you start in about one to five minutes >: () the solution I found, go to the Acer site and install the most recent driver chipset. Worked like a charm.

  • Download Windows 7 Home Premium on Asus Aspire One

    My daughter has the Asus Aspire One laptop that I bought her last Christmas.  It had Vista installed Starter. But, she did not like Vista Starter, so I installed Windows XP Edition Home Premium on it. Unfortunately, Microsoft stopped supporting XP! So could Windows 7 Home Premium be installed on it then? Or is Windows 7 too much for his small laptop? Would be it someone please let me know? Thank you.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, this is an Acer Aspire One, Asus not.

    Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    Acer:

    http://us.Acer.com/AC/en/us/content/drivers

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    ASUS:

    http://www.ASUS.com/support

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20

    Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:

    "Windows 7 system requirements"

  • Aspire One D257-13478 does not start after the system BIOS flash.

    I gave my child a D257 - 13478 new ASPIREONE.

    It came with Windows7 starter - was very slow, crippled and crashed a lot.

    After a while, I have re-formatted the HARD drive to remove Windows-resources-pork-7, and I installed Windows XP Professional (SP3).

    After which, the netbook has been much faster, and I could navigate with 5 windows open browser (FireFox) and NEVER receive (not RESPONDING), as I was always getting with Windoze 7. He's been good for 5 months.

    Anyway, it worked fine except that I could not find driver XP for [CODE 10] Broadcom wireless card,.

    so we were not using WiFi.

    Today I read the suggestion to update my BIOS to correct [CODE 10 number}. I went to acer link and downloaded the BIOS of the Organizer, RAN the EXE and the netbook went to restart.

    When the ACER logo appears, a blue screen flashed QUICK, and the netbook RESTARTS again.

    Asking me to start Windows normally just repeat what's happening above

    When I choose Safe Mode... drivers will charge up to Mup.sys and then the system just REBOOTS.

    When I try the last good Configuration known, same thing.

    Enter the system (F2) shows, Version of the system Bios configuration utility: v1.15

    It used to be all about v1.10.

    .................................................

    Then. What is my next step?

    Will be my HD reformatting and reinstall WIndowsXP DIFFICULTY this problem?

    or

    How can I RESET my Bios to v1.10 (when everything was fine).

    No software to use on a USB key to solve this problem? (because theres no CD don't drive of course)

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi MOne

    The flash will have changed the BIOS settings, so go in the BIOS settings and verify that the setting of the HARD drive is in AHCI mode. If it still does not start XP, then it is worth trying to format & reinstall Windows from scratch.

  • WINDOWS 7 STARTER/ACER ASPIRE ONE UPDATE HELP

    I have a brand new Acer Aspire One Netbook.  It is brand new, so after I did the initial installation for the new netbook, Windows 7 is an update.  When the update is complete, it blocks my netbook.  I get a black screen and a cursor only.  The only way I can fix it is to restore back to the factory and start all over again.  Anyone know why this is happening or that updates 62 is the cause? I basically can't update my OS until it is fixed or know where it is and it can check the updated list.

    You say you have 62 updates. The only true way to know what update is the cause of the problem is by installing one at a time.

    I was looking especially the optional updates as shows drivers etc. If you are offered drivers, you should consult the manufacturer's website to see if indeed you really need the updated drivers.

  • Windows 7 will not update on an Acer Aspire One 722

    Hello, I have an Acer Aspire One 722 - A0722 - 64-Bit - I used the laptop and installed Windows 10 on it and it came to a crawl.  I decided to reset the computer to factory settings.  He succeeded, however, I can not install the updates of Windows.  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1.

    I tried to install updates for the first time without success and tried all the solutions I could find online.  I searched through forum after forum and tried all of the solutions that I found and not luck.  I installed several downloads, as recommended by Microsoft and not solutions.  I had subsequently to error code 8008005 and 0x8024402C and 0x8024001e.  I tried again the solutions and nothing has worked.  Most of the downloads that I did from herre: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows.aspx

    I finally install CCleaner and updated to Explorer 11 I downloaded directly from the Microsoft Web site.  Who succeeded.  Nothing else has.

    So, I wiped out the computer again and reset to factory settings and am at square one.  I installed NOTHING else at this point expect try Windows updates.  All I get is the progress monitor to continue to operate.  It was 'running' and research updates for nearly 30 hours and nothing.  It still reads ' check for Updates ' and nothing else.

    Any help would be appreciated as I know what else to try.  This seems to be a common problem with no real solution at this moment that my search Google told me.

    Two screenshots are below.  Thank you for any help or advice.  At this point, the computer is basically unusable and it's very frustrating.  I spent hours and hours and hours and nothing.

    Thank you all and well be.    Brad
