Acer :: Windows XP On 5535
Apr 6, 2009
I got an Acer 5535 laptop that comes with Vista, and none of the official acer websites have windows XP drivers. To make the switch myself I changed the SATA setting AHCI to IDE (otherwise XP won't work), installed XP and used the drivers from: [url]
Drivers and everything worked fine but when i went to install World of Warcraft it said my laptop doesnt meet the minimum requirements, I then right clicked My Computer -> properties, and noticed it says I have 1Ghz speed and 1.75 RAM when it should be 2GHZ and 2GB RAM.
So far i noticed no decrease in speed but would this ruin my laptop this way, and why has the numbers of my computer speed changed? I'll switch back to Vista if it means keeping my laptop running fine, but i prefer XP if possible.

I bought a Dell Inspiron M531R-5535. It runs on windows 8.1. I have a Dell USB recovery media. Can I run a copy of windows 7 on the Inspiron? Is there drivers available for the M531R for Windows 7?

I've noticed my laptop has been running quite hot recently so I downloaded a thing called Speedfan, which tells me my CPU is running at 70-80 degrees C. Isn't this really, REALLY hot for a laptop? I really don't want it to overheat and break
I first noticed it and found that it was maxing out at 82 degrees, and the movie I was watching was getting jumpy. I was using WMP, MSN, Internet explorer for basic browsing, with Vuze running in the background. The most I ever use. This is my specification:
Acer Aspire 5535
4GB RAM DDR2
AMD Turion X2 Dual Core RM70 (2.0GHZ/1MB)
320GB HDD
Shouldn't this laptop be able to handle these tasks without getting so hot?

I bought Acer Aspire 5535. I got Resource dvd with it, and on that dvd are drivers for Windows Xp, Vista 64 and Vista 32.
When I started him for the first time and try Alt + F10 nothing happens, so I decided to format HDD and put XP on it. I changed AHCI in bios (to IDE) and formated the HDD with Windows Xp. Installation of Windows Xp went just fine. It works fine and everything is ok.
I Only thing I don't have on it is EmPowering. I tried to find it on Acer website, but no way

I just bought an Aspire 5535 and it came with Vista Home Premium. I want to get rid of vista and load XP on it. Problem is I keep getting a hardware error when trying to load XP. I went as far as pulling the HD out of the notebook and hooking it up to my desk top to reformat it, and try it in the notebook at that point, same problem, blue screen f death when it tries to start the windows installation. I then take it out of the note book again and partially load XP up on it from my desktop till the first reboot prompt, re-install it back into the notebook, only to still have the same problem. Is there some hardware issue that needs to be over come here or am I missing something obvious? Or even still, will XP even work on this notebook?

The hard drive on my Aspire 5745 was replaced (same size 640 GB) when I install Windows, it hangs on the Windows logo as its swirling and about to start. I have checked in the BIOS to disable UEFI boot but unable to see this option.

Recently I developed this simple application that lets you easily configure CineDash and other buttons functions on Acer laptops. This application, “Acer CineDash Config”, is mainly for mine purposes.
I tested it on my Acer 6935G and Windows 7 64bit version. It probably should work on other models and systems to.
Some of the features that Acer CineDash Config supports are:
•32bit and 64bit systems
•Configuring applications to run and captions for buttons:oArcade DeluxeoEmpowering tech.oInternetoE-Mail•Making and restoring registry backup
•Enabling media keys to work with other programs, like winamp, and restoring original key mapping file
Here's screenshot of it:

I have an Acer 6930ZG with a fresh install of windows 7 RC 32bit. I can play Call Of Duty 4, Counter Strike, Flatout 2 etc. with no problems! But when I try to open MapleStory a blue screen appears, and begin to make a physcial memory dump? . MapleStory is a 2D-game, and Call Of Duty requires much more.
I made a little research, and I found out that alot of people have the same problem, and they said it was caused by a conflict with a program or hardware drivers. I have tried to delete my NVIDIA driver, and install it again. No luck.
And yes, I have also tried to run MapleStory in compatibily mode
As I said: It's only in MapleStory I experience the problem, and I don't think it's ram-failure, since I have seen the same problem on a different computer, and I can play Call of Duty 4.
Here is the system log:
Problemsignatur:
Navn på problemhændelse:BlueScreen
OS-version:6.1.7100.2.0.0.256.1
Landestandard-id:1030.....................

Just bought an 8940G from Newegg and received it yesterday.
I started it up, just enough to run the recovery tools and burn the recovery DVD's. After that, I blew it away and installed Ubuntu (9.10)
My intention is/was to run Windows 7 in a VM off of Ubuntu, but I'm a bit concerned about my ability to do the reinstallation off of the recovery DVD's in the VM. I'll be running VMware 7 Workstation.
-) Has anyone ever done a native OS installation from the recovery DVD's?
-) Will the Win7 OS install from the recovery DVD's barf if being installed in a VM?
I'm guessing that the install would be OEM locked, so it technically won't "see" my laptop hardware in the VM environment.

I have an acer 8930G with a Q9000 processor, 500gb hd etc. Running visa home premium at the moment (32 bit) and looking to change.
I have created factory restore dvds in case I need to revert anyway.
But I do not want to spend ages installing windows 7 if there are no acer drivers etc for it.
Has anyone who has this laptop installed windows 7 and is it working?
I have been given an official 64 bit version of windows 7 (some guy I know is on some training course or something) but I cant find out info about it.
Obviously I need the dash thing to work for volume control, I use the fingerprint reader a lot too, I also have a tv card with my laptop (Havent managed to find channels yet though!!). Basically I want to see if everything works? IE do the vista drivers work?

Just got Windows 7, and have installed 64-bit to my Acer Aspire 6930G. I'm having some issues getting the graphics and sound "just so".
Have tried a number of drivers from the Acer website, but I cannot get the Tuba bass thing to play, and the sound is currently pretty bad.
Also working out what Nvidia drivers are the best to use is proving unusually difficult. Windows 7 automatically downloaded some when I first booted, 186.52, are these good to use? They are not available from Nvidia, just 186.51. With either of these drivers I don't seem to have full control over how to scale images, I'm forced to use my display's scaler.
I don't have any of the Acer empowering softwate installed, I tried checking out the Acer website, but I'm having difficulty working out exactly what would be best to use with Windows 7 (or if I should use it any at all.)
Windows 7 seemed to intall drivers for most items, so I don't know what I need to install manually. I no longer have any "Acer Crystal Eye Webcam" software, for example, and cannot find this for download either?

i'm considering reinstalling windows 7 home premium on my laptop and i'm wondering if i can use a regular windows 7 home premimum disk instead of the "restore/backup" discs that came with my acer laptop. Reason for doing this is because i do not want all the bloatware from the original backup discs. is this doable?

My 3810TZ should be here tomorrow and I plan on not using the pre-installed vista OS but rather moving right to 64bit Windows 7. I believe I have read a few posts where people have installed Windows 7 with no problems (with drivers or otherwise) but I just wanted to start this thread to get a better feel for how many people are running it and how common problems are (esp with regards to installation or drivers).
are you running windows7 on your timeline? What has your experience been?

I own Acer 6930G laptop and have recently upgraded to Windows 7 (x64). Now I`m having problems with integrated "Tuba" subwoofer. When playing media that has some sort of sound (audio / video files), after some time the subwoofer starts to make nasty sounds as if something was stuck in it. After I restart the program everything goes to normal for like 1-10 minutes.
Tried both versions (5888 and 5901) of Realtek sound drivers from Acer website and still no good. I`m pretty sure that it`s driver problem since I hadn`t such problems when using Windows XP.

I would like to install Windows XP on the second hard drive of my 6930G.
And I was wondering I could use a XP OEM disc that I got from HP about 5 years ago for an NC 8000 notebook? Also do all those OEM XP discs on eBay work with any compuer? Or do I need a speciific brand of computer?

I had bought an Acer laptop with Vista Home Premium 32 bit in the period before the launch of Windows 7, and applied for the free Windows 7 upgrade kit.
Acer sends an upgrade disc that is of the same type as your Vista OS.
So I got an upgrade disc for Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit, as well as a product key on the COA.
What I want to ask is whether it is possible for me to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit through a clean install by finding a friend with the normal retail Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade DVDs, using the 64 bit DVD and then entering the product key that came with my Acer 32 bit Windows 7 HP upgrade disc.
