| Windows 7 on Acer Laptop - How to make Vista driver compatible with Windows 7 (Seven) ? |
Yesterday I bought a 640GB 3'5 Western Digital hard drive and a "Point of View" hard drive external case.... I use it to backup all data from my Acer Aspire 4710... and finally I have a chance to install Windows 7  Windows 7 (Seven) installation was so easy... just like Vista. All devices detected and Windows 7 automatically install the driver except for Card reader (Aspire 4710).... this is device manager screenshot :  click on image to enlarge
But there are no Windows 7 drivers available for Acer Aspire 4710 yet... so I decided to install vista card reader driver (O2 card reader - Aspire 4710) O2 Card Reader driver Windows SevenDownload: http://www.mediafire.com/?lhin0mywjk5Installation: double click it.. and install it as usual... no problem found :) Device Manager screenshot after card reader driver installed :  click on image to enlarge
Although all devices are detected but control panel for Realtek Audio and Intel VGA are unavailable, we should download and install it manually. Realtek Audio driver Windows SevenDownload: http://www.mediafire.com/?djdytywtwtyInstallation: double click it.. and install it as usual... no problem found :) Intel VGA driver Windows SevenDownload: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/16312/a08/winvista_1583.exe (Intel GMA 950) Installation: This driver has compatibility problem with windows 7... when you install it as usual, it will show an error message "This operating system is not supported. Setup will exit."
How to make Vista driver compatible with Windows 7 (Seven) ?You should use Compatiblity Troubleshoot option on Windows 7step 1: Right click and select Troubleshoot compatibility step 2: Because we already knew that the driver is made for vista, click on Trobleshoot program "Select this option to choose compatibility settings based on problems you notice" step 3: What problems do you notice? Select "The program worked in earlier versions of windows but won't install or run now" then click Next

step 4: Which version of Windows did this program work on before? select Windows Vista or Windows Vista (Service Pack 1) then click Next

step 5:
Test compatibility settings for the program Settings applied: Windows compatibility mode: Windows Vista (Service Pack 1) You need to start the program to make sure these new settings have fixed the problem. After running the program using these settings, click Next to continue.
in this step please click Start the program...

step 6: if no window appears, please click User Account Control icon on taskbar, then click Yes

step 7: actually setup window already appear, but it is behind Program Compatibility window, please click setup icon on taskbar to make it visible.

step 8: click Next

step 9: This computer currently contains driver version x.xx.xx.xxx, which is newer than the version you are about to install. Are you sure you want to overwrite the current driver with the older version x.xx.xx.xxxx?
Click Yes

step 10: please remove check mark on "Automatically run WinSAT and enable the Windows Aero desktop theme (if supported)" I think we don't need this on Windows 7... then click Next

and install VGA driver as usual....

Please select "No, I will restart this computer later" and click Finish
step 11: back to Program Compatibility window, click Next

step 12: click "Yes, save these settings for this program"

step 13: Please wait a moment..... then click Close The Troubleshooter and restart your computer. Done :)


Now everything is complete... All devices detected, and I have control panel for VGA and Realtek Audio....
If you have installed Windows 7 on your Acer laptop (Aspire, TravelMate, Extensa, etc...) please write a comment and tell me what device(s) was not automatically recognized by Windows 7 don't forget to mention the laptop type... sharing what you know about Windows 7 on Acer laptop with other Acer users anything you can share is very much appreciated! Thanks :)

Hey- Just heard from acer about my travelmate 6292. They say they do not support changing operating systems and to reinstall xp.
I installed win7 last week. No LAN, usb ports, camera, card reader, or fingerscanner. The only thing that worked fresh from the install was the wireless networking. I couldn't upgrade the bios, no vista drivers would work (even with various flavors of compatibility), and now they say to revert.
Anyone have any suggestions? -matt dito.matt "at" gmail.com

Hi i have an acer aspire 5738g and i think some of the old vista drivers don´t work on Windows 7, just like the PowerSmart Management which I think is the reason why the design of the windows is too simple: for example: the X-button to close a window is smaller than those on the pictures or: i can't change the color of the taskbar into black?. is it the matter of the version i have? (W7 Professonel) Please help!!!!

I have an Acer Aspire 8930G, and have just purchased and installed W7 Ultimate x64. (I used to have Windows Vista Home Premium x32 on this before)..
Everything seems to work fine so far except 1 thing totally and one thing halfway..
1. I can`t find the audio driver (realtek) driver for this version. I`ve tried installing several different Vista drivers for the soundcard, but no success.. I`ve tried contacting Acer, but no response.. What can I do?
2. Fingerprint reader. Works sometimes well, but after installing W7 I have sever problems to get my fingerprints recognized.. strange..

I have a Acer which I just tried to load Windows 7 on and my CD/DVD driver is not working; after talking with Acer there is a problem with Windows 7 not updating the drivers. They are sending me a new set of disks to reset my system back to Vista. Then once Windows 7 gets all the bugs worked out then will have to try again at a later date.

I am running win7 on Acer Aspire 4710 Laptop. All drivers and bios of my laptop are up-to-date but I have a problem with win7: when I hibernate or sleep my laptop and then resume it and then I try to restart the laptop,win7 turn my laptop off and then turn it on but the Bios does not load hardware and the display does not show anything (does not show Acer Bios Logo) and laptop does not boot OS. After 3 second my laptop restart again and in this time bios loads hardware(show Acer Bios Logo) and boot the OS. this problem occurs only when I sleep or hibernate my laptop and resume it from hibernate or sleep and then restart it. If I turn on my laptop and do not hibernate or sleep it, it will restart correctly and without any problem. in win XP I did not have such this problem. what can I do for solving this problem?

Invalid or Deleted File >> can anybody help give new link to download driver

your suggestion: easy and preeeettttyyyyy useful very concise that's good!
I knew the win vista drivers are compatible with 7 sincere congrats for your blog very good job! I appreciate your work thanks for sharing
May I suggest? You may quote drivers link from acer official site or server. that would be very good to see drivers available and (finally) found directly on acer page, but besides your link provided from mediafire, which keeps being good.
best regards from Chile.

Hi! I have an Acer Travelmate 3002 WTMI notebook with windows XP professional. I have upgraded the memories up to 2 GBs. I was wondering if there is a way to install Windows7. I cannot find any driver neither for Vista nor Windows7 on Acer's support page. But... is it really really impossible to get Windows 7 work on my notebook? Thank you very much. Your email to poltn22@yahoo.com would be very much appreciated! Thanks

My laptop is an Acer Aspire 9423 WSMi with a 17" WXGA screen running Vista Ultimate. Now I did an upgrade to Windows 7 Proffesional and the max resolution for my screen is to low (1024X768) because a generic VGA adapter is chosen. I tried your procedure but it gave an error (Het systeem voldoet niet aan de minimale eisen - he system does not apply to the minimal demands) and troubleshooting: issues found: incompatible application I'am stuck. Any ideas. thxs Hans Jansen hans@arnhemnet.nl

I own a Acer Travelmate 3004WTMi. I put a new harddisk with 320GB into the notebook and installed Windows 7 Professional. After the installation i found the following problems: Cardreader, Audio, Fn-Functions. Acer tells on the offical support page, that there are only XP drivers for the TM3000. After some searching, i could find this page: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/tm_3000.html with Vista drivers ! I installed the drivers for Cardreader, Audio and Fn-Functions. Now the TM3004 runs fine with Windows 7. Only Aero can not be enabled. Regards Matthias

Problem Summary: My laptop is an Acer Aspire 9423 WSMi with a 17" WXGA goiing from Vista to Window7. (see text prev entry)
Problem solved. Thanks Mathias. I went to http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_9420.html and selected a Video driver for Vista (VGA_Nvidia_v98.08_Vistax32). After installing and rebooting my resolution went back to 1440 x 900.
