Windows drivers 8 for Windows 7

I bought an Acer Revo RL80 which I installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on it run the same as the laptops in my house.

I have problems with some drivers do not install (especially wireless driver), after having contacted the Acer Support, it turns out that the material in this product has been designed to be compatible Windows 8 and that the drivers are not available for windows 7. I prefer not to return the box or have to buy another version of Windows, so my questions are:

Are there other drivers that might be compatible that I could use and where can I find them?

And:

Windows are likely to offer these drivers for Windows 7 is compatible with the new machines?

There are likely to be other options that I didn't think so if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

It is not Microsoft providing the drivers.

The manufacturer of the computer extracts the device manufacturers. In the case of OEM computers, drivers are almost always customized. That's why direct device drivers from the manufacturers of devices rarely work on OEM computers.

If you install Windows 8 and use an alternative start menu, you get the experience of Windows 7, and except the flat appearance of Windows 8, you would be hard to tell the difference...

And, of course, all the internal hardware would work as it should...

Use an alternative start menu in Windows 8...

  • Drivers Toshiba for Windows XP Home edition and VISTA fpr a Satellite Pro P100 - PSPAH

    Hello.

    I need help. I bought a Satellite pro P100 - PSPAH with Vista Premium Home edition version of recovery. Now, I want to install a second operating system such as Windows XP Home edition on this laptop. The problem is that Windows XP Home edition did not find 3 drivers. For sound, LAN and another device. For this reason I update my notebook with the latest chipset drivers, but the problem is still there. Vista now has problems with the drivers, too. I can't find the special driver on toshiba home page.

    Hello

    I understand your problem at the moment that I also prefer XP instead of Vista operating system.
    Vista needs simply too many resources for laptop and all applications and 3rd devices are not 100% supported by Vista.

    But what say man seems to find compatible drivers on chip manufacturing sites.
    Download and install a tool called Everest or other similar hardware diagnostic tool and try to find out what LAN and sound chips are used in your laptop!
    Then, you can search drivers Intel, Realtek, etc... pages

    You know the website driver Toshiba Canada?

    There you will find also some Pro P100 series. Try these drivers. It's worth a try.

    Hello

    USB devices remove all you can - restart the computer - is still there, the error? If it isn't
    It is related to one of the add-in devices that you removed. If she is still there, then, the question is
    either a device internal who can not remove or physically with the USB bus itself.
    If it was not there, add devices at a time until it is displayed - keep in mind that it is
    possible that there are two (or more) devices in conflict over the issue. Once you
    identified the check of the aircraft with the help of the manufacturer.

    1. to find the control panel - device - device - right-click on it - uninstall - Manager then
    Restart the computer to see if it clears.

    2. same place - double click on the device - driver tab - driver update - to see if that helps.

    3. check with the support of system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for customized systems), their
    online documentation and drivers, diagnostics and ask questions in their forums on all known
    questions. Update the Bios and chipset or other USB drivers.

  • Aspire E5 - 511G: display driver intel graphics drivers hd for windows 8 (r) is no longer

    Hi all

    I bought my Aspire E5 - 511G a few days.

    I have successfully installed Windows 7 Professional (x 64).

    I installed all the drivers downloaded form the support also section successfully.

    The problem is that about every 5 ~ 10 minutes, I get the following message:

    "display driver intel graphics drivers hd for windows 8 (r) stopped responding and has recovered".

    This message itself is not a problem. The problem is that during Skype video calls after receiving this message, I see more or my own video and video of the callee.

    Not only that, restart the call does not correct the problem.

    The only solution is to restart Skype, but it does not work every time.

    I had a similar problem with youtube videos, but I solved the problem by setting NVIDIA as graphics processor preferred for the browser application, but I have no option for Skype.

    Can someone please? It is very very annoying.

    problem

    Looks like that I managed to solve the problem.

    Firstly, the link you provided was worng. The appropriate driver URL is https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=24329&lang=eng

    As you can see it is the same driver for windows 7/8/8.1-64-bit.

    Second, when I download and install it I get a message that my driver is up to date already (actuall I had other issues but that's another story)

    In a Word, to install it, I did the following:

    1 downloaded the zip of the "win64_153330.zip" driver version

    2 extract the zip file to a folder.

    3. in the windows Device Manager, I uninstalled the graphics driver intel existing HD. So my screen stopped working (which is expected).

    4 restart the laptop, windows loaded with the default VGA driver.

    5. Device Manager open, the crux of the VGA, click right and choose driver update driver.

    6. in the Update Driver Wizard I chose the location of already extracted files (step 2).

    7 installing the driver successfully passed and asked windows to restart.

    Now, after the reboot, I have a Skype has appealed for about 20 minutes and did not get the pilot error.

    Also played some videos youtube - new error now.

    Summary:

    The current version of the driver (of work) is 10.18.10.3958

    The version of the driver provided by Acer's 10.18.10.3621

    I'll post an update a few days more later how things happen.

    Jake

    Hey Jake,

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Follow these steps:

    (a) restart your computer if you have not already done so. There is always the possibility that the error Code 31 that you see was caused by a temporary problem with Device Manager. If so, a simple reboot can solve the Code 31.

    (b) have you install a device or a change in the Device Manager, just as the Code 31 error appeared? If so, it is very possible that the modification caused the Code 31 error.

    (c) cancel the change if you can restart the computer and then check again the error Code 31. Depending on the changes, some solutions may include:

    Remove or reconfigure newly installed unit.

    Restore a version prior to updating the driver.

    Use system restore to undo the Device Manager recent related changes.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions

    (d) to remove the registry values filters upper and lower. A common cause of errors in Code 31 is the corruption of two registry values in the class of the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive registry key.

    Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following link. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

    Original title: windows 7 x 64 homepremium

    Hi Enrique.

    Thanks for your post on this forum.

    Ideally, most computer manufacturers provide drivers independently different editions of a Windows operating system. This means that the same driver can be used for the operating system Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 ultimate and Windows 7 Enterprise, regardless of their editing.

    The only thing you need to check is that it corresponds to the architecture of the operating system (32-bit or 64-bit).

    If you use a 64-bit operating system, make sure that you install 64-bit drivers and for the operating system 32-bit, only 32-bit drivers must be installed.

    In your case, HP provides the drivers for Windows 7 operating system, and it can be installed on the computer regardless of the different editions of the same operating system. But please make sure that it matches the architecture of the operating system.

    Hope it will be useful. Please get back to us if you need help with this query.
