WANTE TO REMOVE GAMES PROGRAMMES

My new Acer Aspire 5742 laptop running WINDOWS 7 AND office 2003 has 21 games included of which I only wish to keep one. The gameswere preinstalled with the WINDOWS programme when I purchased the machine. I want to delete all the others, but keep getting a message saying the uninstaller may also delete settings and data directories For the game I am trying to delete. It suggests backing up the data stored in the subdirectories for each game. I dont know how to do this. This is making my computer run very slowly and I want them removed. Please help. Will I affect other programmes if I just press delete to remove each one?

Hi, the error code that you have is a known issue from Microsoft that needs a registry tweaks. Error code means "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (code 39)" . You can click on this link for your reference http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929461/en-us

To resolve this problem, remove the affected filter drivers. To do this, follow these steps:1. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
2. Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.
3. In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
4. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
5. In the right pane, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
6. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.


This will surely help you resolve your issue. Good Luck!!!
Thanks

Yes, you can safely uninstall the acer game zone.

You should defragment the hard drive with Defraggler (http://www.filehippo.com/download_defraggler/)
and clean temporary files with CCleaner (http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/) and eventually scan for spyware with Ad-Aware or Spybot, oh, and also a full system virus scan wouldn't hurt either.

You could also disable some programs which load at startup via Start -> Run -> type "msconfig" (without the quotes) -> Startup and disable not needed items.

My Acer Aspire One D257-1679 Laptop Constantly Freezes. Maybe Windows 7 Drivers out of Date and is not compatable.Should I do factory Reset?. Thank you

I just fixed a laptop with windows 7 freezes

windows 7 support has ended
all you need ot do is reduce the number of programs the computer is running

C drive needs lots of free space

if you want to keep the computer ..these things help

first store what you want to keep on to usb sticks
documents ,pictures ,files ,

not on the hard drive

delete all the unwanted items off the c drive
look into the users ..remove "Temp "

go through all the programs on c drive and uninstall
as many non windows 7 and unused microsoft programs and also unwanted computer games and printer drivers
clear all the downloads
clear the memory cache
defrag the c drive
scan for virus and troguns

if using versions of office above 2000 will slow /freeze the pc

windows 7 when released was based as a 32 bit and some x64
window 10 can be uploaded only if window 7 has upgraded to stage 3 but it will be slow
stuff that is X 86 will slow windows 7

ACER APSPIRE 5742 TAKE ABOUT 10 TIMES TO BOOT UP.

If there is extreme heat inside the laptop, this happens. Clean the fan and put new thermal pste/thermal pad to processor and chipsets. Also check for power button problem or any stuck keys in the keypad.
Hope this helps

Playing high graphics games on acer aspire 4315

Check the requirements printed at the back of each game. this will tell you if the game runs. If some game is slow try disabling the antivirus while you run the game, remember to restart antivirus afterward.
Do not use software accelerator, majority of them are useless, some of them carries malaware and viruses.
