Not installing skype

After many attempts and scrounging the interwebs, I have yet to find a solution for my problem. Currently running Windows Vista 64-bit on my Aspire 5735. Have been attempting to install Skype vs 5.9 to no avail. I'm not able to even properly install the set-up exe without it failing, much less installing the actual program. Any suggestions/solutions?

The only suggestion I can offer is install an earlier version of Skype to see if that will make the difference, also! go online to Acer and contact customer support and the technical department to see if they can shed some light on the problem.

SOURCE: acer aspire 5920 running vista has built in mic not working

Hey,

It is all because the Microphone is not set as a default device to start recording.

Its like your computer has no device for recording even if the computer has connected with Mic.

Just change the settings and enjoy..!!!

Check the below link:

How to download and install skype on my windows 7 desktop computer?

To install Skype, download the latest version from the Skype website. Do not download Skype from anywhere else.
The Skype install file is about 1MB in size. When you run the install file, the installer will download the Skype application (about 20MB) in the background. If your internet connection drops while this is happening, the installer will resume the download as soon as connectivity is restored.
If you do not wish to use the light installer, download the full installer (around 22MB).

The system requirements for running Skype on different operating systems are described below. Please ensure that your system meets these requirements, and that you have the equipment you need, before downloading the latest version of Skype.
Version : Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7
(32-bit and 64-bit versions supported)
Processor : At least 1GHz
RAM : At least 256 MB
Additional software DirectX v9.0 or above

Hope this helps (remember to rating this answer and leave us a testimonial commetn).

Acer Aspire 1690 cooling problem whit windows vista

Windows Vista is a very demanding Operating system when it comes to system resources and it doesnt come as a shock to hear that you computer runs warmly, If you werent experiencing any problems when you had windows XP installed, I would suggest downgrading to Window XP, otherwise wait for October 22 and purchase a genuine copy of Windows 7 and use that.

Compaqa3000 cant install

HP does not currently have a driver release for the Compaq A3000 All-In-One that is compatible with the Windows Vista operating system. You can attempt to find an alternate driver that works but it may cause system instability, if it works at all. I recommend upgrading to a printer with a Vista-compatible driver available because it is the most stable solution.

Camera doesnt work

Sorry talhahs, creative has not written Vista compatible driver software for you're PC-Cam 350 camera. Hence you're camera will not function with any version of Vista.
There are few SD readers currently that are compatible with Vista. Click on this link to see one type.

A card reader that will help you in transferring pictures from you’re camera to you’re PC while using Vista.
Win XP, unlike Vista will still run program software even if it has not passed MS's compatability.

Good Luck!
