ACER ASPIRE 4755G

Thanks Heavens for this technological piece!

Just finished romancing the ACER ASPIRE 4755G laptop unit lent to me. Not bad for editing - but not heavy editing.

Troubles bug my mind when I tried to install Windows XP3 - it won't work. So if you want to try it, do so but don't hit me, lol.

ACER strongly supports Windows Operating System, more in particular Windows 7 Series. That is why in their website Windows XP and Vista have been grayed out; leaving Windows 7 as available for download support for the unit.

Most of the peripherals in ACER won't work with Win XP now; specially the newly released notebooks and even netbooks or even desktops. That left me one choice...

So I bought with me Windows 7 pro.

We're both strangers here, lol. I've been using Windows XP for almost 10 years and now here comes the bride.

Whew! It was a hard days work. What gives me so much trouble was the second or third party VGA adapter - the NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 540M. This one's giving me the willies of the day, ha ha ha

After the the labor, now what's with learning the hard way? Here I've got some tips for you.

* First, If ever you have ACER Aspire notebook, netbook or even desktop; the newer version of it do not support XP or Vista anymore. As for my case it's Acer Aspire 4755G. I managed to install the XP3 but then was halted by lots of incompatibilities. So, eat your emotions and say bye bye to gold old XP grandpa. ha ha ha
* Second, always install everything that is on the resource CD. I mean every thing even though it looks like the hardware have been installed already. Chances are, if you don't, the unit will not work properly.

Just like in the case below. The devices seemed installed already. Nevertheless, I just do the driver update as if it has never been installed. As for me it's the VGA cards that pounded my brain cells.

The unit (Acer Aspire 4755g) works fine, very fine.

We have long way more to go with this.
