I have a Compaq Presario CQ56 64-Bit (Windows 7 Home Premium) laptop that I bought before the summer, today a Windows Update has given me an Acer display update published on the 28/12/2011. I thought because I had my vga cable plugged into the TV Windows Update may have become confused but despite checking for updates again it still appears there as optional.
AMD/ATI is recognized by Windows and Windows Update and there had already been a display driver update not so long ago, so I cannnot understand why I'm receiving an update for the wrong machine?
i have just bought compaq presario cq56-110sm,but it came along with SUSE Linux Enterprise.However,i am a music producer and because of my neeeds,i want to install windows 7. First,i have disconected the hdd from my laptop and hooked it up to my pc and formated it completely,hooked it back to the lap top,and tried to isntall windows,but then,it asked for hdd drivers and it acts like there is no hdd attached.
I have a cq56-219wm. The LED code leads me to believe that the cpu has died. However, I have already replaced it with a new one and still am getting the same code with no boot up. I have tried the power reset by holding the power button for one minute and still nothing. The fans are functional as well. My question is, what would the next step be for this laptop repair and will it be worth it on a 2 year old machine?
As soon as I type in the password it freezes; sometimes I don't get the whole password in before it locks up. The fan/drive (not sure which) is very loud. It locks up at the same point in safe mode and when I go to command mode it only takes me to networking mode.
When i turn the computer on i get the screen : setup is starting service. Install Windows. The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install windows, click ok to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. I have contacted acer they tried to help with the ALT and F12. Nothing I have tried works.. They told me to order the recovery discs for $20.00. I did , and they dont work either... I contacted them back, and now they say to send it back to them and for $199.00 plus shipping, they will repair the computer..I do not have the money for that..I have the the system disc, the 3 recovery disc and the language disc , that I just ordered from Acer for $20.00.
When I press down f10 and ALT at the same time during boot up from the factory recovery disk when seeing the splash screen, nothing happens and the 'acer laptap just boots from the regular hard drive as usual.
I need display adaptor(Nvidia) for Acer Aspire 9813 Laptop (19" giant desktop replacement) which has win 7 home installed 64 bit as upgrade from Win Vista
This Acer Desktop replacement has been upgraded from Win Vista to Win 7 Home and there doesn't seem to be 64 bit drivers available for the Nivideo display adaptor
I have problem with my laptop acer aspire 4730zg,im trying to install windows 7 in my laptop using secondhand hardisk 80g,the original harddisk is 250g has corrupted.my first problem is in the middle of installation an error pop-up saying "windows cannot be installed to this disk".This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk.Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."I try changing from "IDE to AHCI" and "AHCI to IDE" in the bios menu but still does not work both ways.I tried to install WinXP,VIsta and Windows 7 and all still stuck in the middle of installation.So i want to update bios,because there is a bios update from acer that fix unbootable hardisk problem for this model.
My second problems are since the hardisk does not have any OS install,i cannot update bios using regular method.I need to flash it using thumbdrive in dos,if anyone can show me step by step to update bios and how to create the bootable thumbdrive for this model
My acer Laptop recently crashed after a windows update. Was unable to restore or reset. Now get message telling me to install windows 7 from DVD. Like most was never given DVD.
I do however have XP from an old machine I had. Can I reload the XP and then recover my windows 7 from the partition I think is on my HDD.
Cannot install update 'Acer Chrystal Webcam' after downloading I must Delete the currant version but that version will not Delete.Could it be about 'Windows Installer?
