Acer :: Handy Win7 IE8 Trick
Jan 8, 2010
I was having problems keeping the IE page fully maximised each time I opened a new page.
To correct this, I would expand the borders of the page to the size I wanted by clicking and dragging them. Then not exiting the page by clicking on the "X", but by going to main menu and selecting File then "Exit". This system had worked with XP IE and also with Vista IE but did not work for Win 7 IE.
This works: Right click on Desktop IE icon, select Properties.
In the window that opens, the "Target" is highlighted. Delete that and insert "C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe". Insert the quotes as well.

Get the driver from this thread:
New Synaptics Driver - Multitouch like Macbooks
I'm using 13.2.1.0 with my 1340 because the newer ones haven't worked. Next, navigate to the Device Settings tab, and click Settings. From there, the fun begins.
Go to Application Gestures, "Three Fingers Down," and select Configure. At that point, you'll need this command:
%windir%System32
undll32.exe dwmapi.dll #105
Copy that, select "Add" and paste it into the command text box. Name it Flip 3D or whatever you want, and select OK, OK, and click Apply. Now, make sure you have Three Finger Flick enabled. This will let you scroll between the applications that are running in Flip 3D. Once you get the hang of it, it's a very cool and easy way to get around. You know, or not. Whatever.

Dell Studio not turning on? I've had this happen several times.
On previous times, I would take the battery out for a day or 2, put back in and it would turn on. Unfortunately, this time, no-can-do!

I have a strange problem with Win7 (no matter if x86 or x64)...
I have 30Mbit internet connection, so I want to download some bigger files through internet during night.
I have all extra power features disabled (on CPU slowdown and screen dim and off allowed) and after few hours (sometimes 1, sometimes 4), the Windows 7 is in one of the two states:
a) when I move the mouse to wake up screen, only cursor goes up and I must restart notebook
b) when I move the mouse to wake up screen, screen goes up, but NO INTERNET CONNECTION
Must say, that it is the same with WIFI and also ETHERNET and is for sure Win7 problem, as when I install WinXP, everything is fine.

I just got an Aspire One D250 netbook. It runs Win XP SP3, but I can upgrade to Vista or Win7.
Does anybody have the Aspire One with Win7? If so, how does it behave? Should I upgrade my memory? Also, the netbook is equipped with the low end embedded Intel graphics chipset, can it hold Win7 or Vista?

1. Should i upgrade or make a fresh install? (probably i think it's better a fresh install)
2.If i make a fresh install i need to format my C:?
3.But will the d2d console work after formatting c: so in case i want to return to Vista i just need to hit ALT+f10 and start the restoring process?

For the past 5 months that ive owned m laptop, i have been running the Windows 7 RC.
However, given that i will be leaving the country for the next four months (during which time my RC license will expire) i did a clean install to an RTM (retail) copy of windows 7 ultimate 64 a few days ago. Since then, ive noticed some bothersome issues:
battery life is fluctuating heavily, and the predictions are nowhere near as high as they used to be (with the win7 RC i got 7 hours or so in practical use)
the Launch Manager software is not really working, when i unplug i dont see the battery logo come up on screen like i used to when i unplug, and instead get random changes in brightness and beep sounds when nothing seems to be happening (i think thats related to the optical drive management software) the other touch buttons, like wifi do show a logo on screen when clicked, but the battery button does not.
in the time i have spent writing this post, the battery indicator has predicted 5 hours, 5 hours 30 min, 7 hours 30 min, and 6 hours, all between 85 and 83%. i know it fluctuates some because its calculated based on usage, but this is way more than it ever did before.
in addition i cant install the VGA drivers from acer because it says my computer doesnt meet the minimum specs when i try to install.

I'm not sure if it's related to my upgrade, but I've encountered my computer just locking up temporarily a few times now.
It'll just completely freeze, I can't move the cursor, and stay like that for 10-20 seconds and the HDD-activity LED stays solid. Afterwards everything starts working again...
This seems to have only started occurring after I upgraded to Windows 7.

I have a brand new Acer Aspire 5536. It came pre-installed with Vista which I have repalced with Windows 7. I did a clean install, first formatting the hard drive.
The boot process takes 7-10 minutes before the login screen appears. Once logged in the sysrtem appears to be working fine. I have re-instaslled multiple times (using different disks) but no matter what I try it takes an age to boot.
Could my laptop be faulty - does anyone else have Win7 running on one these?

if there's something wrong with my speakers on my newly bought 6920G. They are extremely oddly placed, at least what I think.
One of them is located to the right (below the screen as it should be). However the other one is placed more closed to the middle (below the screen) than to the left as I think it should be. This makes the sound coming from left to sound like coming from the front instead, which can't be right... Should it really be this way?
I should mention that I bought this PC from Acer with like 35-40% discount because it got sent back to Acer for repairs of the speakers actually. Did the assemble the left one incorrectly?
Check this picture. I've marked where the speakers are located with red circles.

I also wonder if here's ANY way to get the Empowering softwares to work in Windows 7 (RC1)? I can get them to START (ePower, eSettings), but they can't be used. I have them running in Vista compatibility mode already.

I recently got the Windows 7 upgrade kit from Acer in the mail. However, I have the timeline 3810tz (no dvd drive). How did Acer expect us to go about installing this? I know there is a way to put Win7 on a USB but it is tedious. I was wondering if there is any other way besides external dvd drive?
Also, how is the battery life lasting on Win 7? I've read it isn't as long compared to running under Vista. Currently I get anywhere from 6-8 hrs on a full charge.

Is there any possibility to interact with ePower in Windows 7 clean installation? In original Vista that came wit notebook it had tray icon, but when I install this app in Win7 from provided archive (ePower_Acer_4.07.3008_Win7x86x64), there is no tray nor any launcheable app, even through there is epowertray.exe running in memory. An when I press ePower button (green battery with leaf), nothing actually happens, only indication is that icon is green lit and if I install launchmanager, there is visual indication on display too...

Anyone else having problems getting their 1810TZ (or any 1810 model I'd guess) working properly with an iPod Touch? I just got my Touch yesterday, and I tried tons of things last night. iTunes simply won't recognize my Touch.
At this point I just wanna know if anyone does have it working on an 1810 model with Win 7. I'm using the original WIn 7 Home Premium that came on it.

Is there anyone that is successfully using a BT headset on his/her Acer (with Windows 7)
If so which drivers and headset are you using?
I am currently using a headset with cables but this is a nag.
Under XP on my old laptop i always used a BT headset which gives you the freedom to get a cup of coffee while on the phone

I have a big issue with my Acer Aspire 5739G laptop that I recently purchased through Ebay. Actually, I bought it from Newegg dba Fred's Fresh Deals. (Newegg sells their returned items and cosmetically damaged goods under this name on Ebay). The laptop was advertised as a possible hard drive issue (it couldn't load windows and the error code looked like a boot sector virus, so I purchased it thinking a simple reformat will fix it).
Specs:
CPU Type Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 2.2G
Screen 15.6"
Memory Size 4GB DDR3
7200RPM Hard Disk 320GB
Optical Drive DVD Super Multi
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GT 240M
Video Memory 1GB
Communication Modem, Gigabit LAN and WLAN
CPU Type Intel Core 2 Duo
CPU Speed T6600(2.20GHz)
CPU FSB 800MHz
CPU L2 Cache 2MB
Chipset
Chipset Intel PM45
Display
Screen Size 15.6"
Wide Screen Support Yes
Resolution 1366 x 768
LCD Features LED backlight & Acer CineCrystal Technology
Operating Systems
Operating System Windows 7
Anyways...
After I did a fresh reformat of the hard drive and a fresh install of Windows 7, the laptop freezes/locks up after 10-30mins on the desktop. I cannot move the mouse or anything, so I have to do a hard reboot. I don't understand how it is happening.
I updated the mobo's Phoenix driver to the latest one, and tried older VGA Nvidia drivers because I thought it might be a video card driver issue; It is still locking up. I went as far as to purchase a brand new laptop hard drive and the problem still arises. There is no BSOD. As noted earlier, the computer just simply freezes. I cleared CMOS....240M GT VGA is running factory settings....I tried leaving only 1 ram stick in the laptop. I never ran through a problem like this before.
I ran it on Safe Mode and the computer seems to be working fine as long as I do simple tasks or remain idle. I did the SFC /SCANNOW in safe mode and it locks up. I attached my event view file to this email. (I tried to install RivaTuner to underclock factory settings, but the program could not load).

I just upgraded my 8200 to Win 7 Enterprise. After formatting my HD, all drivers were installed automatically except the drivers for the the three programmable buttons next to the power button. Even without the driver, the mail and internet buttons work, but they cannot be reprogrammed. I have tried to download from Acers site, but they don't have a driver for 7 yet. The XP and Vista drivers did not work with Win7.

our laptop keeps throwing a flakey when trying to install Win7 Ultimate over the current crappy Vista OS.
Laptop passed the compatibility checker no probs & has all the updates installed, but every time we try, we get either
1. windows 7 install failure message then black screen with cursor
or
2. straight to black screen with cursor.
This is even after changing to the low res setting that is mentioned so often when googling the issue.
I've looked on the Acer site, but it says if I got it from pc world I should take it up with them?
Anyone here have any advice to get it to work, or should we just smash the laptop off a wall?

I received my Precision M4400 with Win 7 Pro x64 pre-installed, and using it for audio recording and playing everything works great. However, since Win7x64 drivers do not exist for some of my audio devices,
I decided to put in a new HD (same as the original, only larger) double-booting XPx86 and Win7x64. So I installed XP on one partition of the new HD and Win7x64 from the CD that shipped with the M4400. Big problem...
Neither XPx86 nor the re-installed Win7x64 are able to deliver anything but crackles and pops and noise only slightly resembling music. Forget about recording...

I noticed there was no Notebook System Software download for Win7 for my E6400 and just wanted to confirm that that is correct?
According to this post from October:

Also, can I forgo the Control Point software and just use the OS Hardware manager? Any of the varied DCP downloads absolutely required?
