I'm starting to wonder, why in the hell acer installed vista 32 bit, which only recognize 3 gb ram max, in my 8920 while it has 4 gb ram. Or maybe there is a way in vista 32 bit for making it recognize the whole amount of ram. How much is vista ultimate 64 bit actually? Is it worth swapping OS if there is no other way?

I went to rip a CD and it didn't work, so I did some investigating and found that the CD/DVD isn't even showing up. It has worked in the past and no changes have been made to the system.

I have had a long and complicated history with the product. I bought it back in March.
Then, I got a virus on the system. I did not get a restore CD with the laptop so I installed XP on the laptop (initially it came with Vista). This installation was on a separate hard drive than what came initially with the laptop. Also, my monitor got broken so I had to replace it with one from an older HP laptop of mine.
Now the product had some problems, but ran with XP fine. There were problems with my video card since the drivers I needed to install were integrated with Vista.
Now, I finally reinstalled Vista on the laptop. Everything is almost back to normal... except I have one BIG problem. My device control reads that I have a "standard vga video adapter" for my video card. This is entirely false as I have an Nvideo card.
I have tried installing drivers from Acer's website but to no avail. I have gotten the error message :"Nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware"
I am new to this p2p support group. I have an aspire 5672WLMi with 2G RAM and factory configuration. I need to transfer files from my SD card with the 5 in one card reader slot. However after I insert the card I don't see it in the my computer as removable media.
How do I read the SD card? What am I doing wrong?
Do I need additional drivers or manuals for this?
Is there any one who can guide me to download my data using this SD card reader slot.
I had to replace the hard disk and reinstall the system from recovery CDs. Trying now to use the 3G connection results in (translated): "No 3G device recognised". I use the SIM card which functions with my pad. I tried then to repair the 3G driver then to deinstall and reinstall it but all without success. I also cannot recognise a corresponding entry in the Device-Manager. How I could get it working again?

The only problem I'm having is the wireless adapter is not recognized in device manager. There is a "network controller" that has no driver. I have installed the broadcom driver from acer site, but it won't work.

I using an ACER Aspire 7520 Laptop.
I have desktop internal hard-drive that I use as an external hard-drive via usb/sata cable.
Recently I cloned my Internal laptop hard drive to the desktop internal hard drive that I mentioned above, but the problem is that whenever I connect the desktop hard-disk again to my laptop via usb/sata calbe the drive doesn't show up, it is detected by the BIOS and Windows Device manager but it doesn't show up along my laptop internal hard drive with an independent letter like it used to before I made the cloning.
Whatever I do it does not show the hard drive - it only shows the small C drive (in the screen part).

I have tried everything to get this SD card reader to work but to no avail. Even a fresh install of W7/32 ... nothing... Every time i insert an SD card in the slot... i get a message. USB device not recognized ... one of the usb devices has malfunctioned & Windows does not recognize it... I am also just using a 2 g SD card not an sdhc card.
In the Device Manager.... it shows up as "unknown device" yellow highlight... try to update the driver ... says i already have the best driver..... when i take the sd card out...unknown device disappears... i have also re-installed the drivers from here for the card reader... but nothing....
Furthermore... it seems to lead to an error code 43 ..

View 3 Replies View Relatedok so i hv this problem with my dell xps m1330 that it wont charge the battery. and when i turn the laptop on, it gives me message that tht AC adapter can not be recognized, and that the battery may not charge.
i tried reinstalling windows but it still didnt help :S. so i called Dell technical support and talked to this guy for 40 mins, he told me a bunch of stuff , like reseting stuff in BIOS etc. but it didnt work. so at the end he just said to send the laptop for repair.
Even though i still have the manufacturing warranty, but i CANT send my laptop in for repair, bc i really NEED it for my university. And also he wont agree to send me a replacement laptop or anything.
so i really dont know what to do. i know there are alot of experts here, who are way better than dell technical support team. so does any one has an easy way out for this problem
just did a fresh installation of Windows XP and all the drivers, but under the device manager, the ICH8 USB controller is not recognized, so I can't use any USB device attached to the computer.

I've bought a new HDD (Western Digital 500GB) to replace the old one because there was not enough space on it. So I replaced the hard drives, insert the DVD, hold C and the installation process starts .... but when it reaches the point to choose my destination hard drive .... there is no drive listed there to choose.
I suspected that the new hard drive is broken, so I opened another laptop (PC) that I have and I replaced the old HDD with the new one and everything works fine.
Recently ran into an issue with the AC adapter not being recognized despite being the original cord and no longer charging the battery. No issues with light on cord flickering or turning off. Purchased a new power cord anyways but problem persists. BIOS shows unknown type for Ac adapter even after BIOS update. Diagnostics scan doesn't detect any problems. URL....
why this occurs and if there is a workaround or repair to re-enable the charging? It appears the laptop is just disabling the charging circuit despite being provided the correct power.

The Adapter wattage is not recognised please connect a 65W DELL adaptor"
I have this "problem" (is not actually a problem but I would like to know what the problem is) I have a usb wireless adapter since my laptop didn't come with a wireless card built in.
Its working fine but there is something that bothers me, I have 3 usb ports and one of them doesn't recognize my usb wireless adapter!
I don't have problems with the other two, I just plug it in and the system connects to the internet. Its just one usb port that does not recognize it.
After installing XP media center on my inspiron 1520 i am unable to get it to recognize usb devices. I looked in the device manger at the drivers and it is missing some for the usb.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI put a brand new seagate 160GB SATA hard drive in my E1705. Before doing anything, the F2 bios screen displayed 160GB, but after installing windows vista ultimate, it is shown as 78GB in disk management, F2 bios screen, and everywhere else. This is a 7200rpm drive. Is there any hardware limit I wasn't aware of? What should I do regain the other 82GB?
View 13 Replies View Relatedthe hard drive quit. after 2 years. lucky, they are not that expensive anymore. I bought the same as the original from Amazon. After trying to install Win XP Pro, it gave me the message: no hard drive found.
Means, it does not have a partition, no format. The drive ( a Toshiba) did not come with a CD to do that. (WD usually has that utility). I did a Diagnose from the Bios, didn't work either.
Does anybody know what I have to do to make the maschine recognize the drive , how I can add a new partition onto it ?
I have a dv2550se with windows xp installed. (Before it was vista but i reinstalled it).

I have three usb ports, and none of them seem to be working. Although the devices work on my roommate's laptop, they are not recognized on mine. When I plug my flashdrive into hers, it lights up, but that doesn't happen on mine. I recently reset my computer to factory settings to try and fix other issues including the problem with the usb ports, but the usb devices are still not recognized.
I recently sent in my laptop due to problems of it not being able to turn on, and my battery and a/c adapter were replaced. I was quite happy. However, I do not want to send it back in even though it is under warranty. Since I am a college student, I really need my laptop. If nothing works, I'll send it back in over winter break so I'm not without a laptop during my studies.
