If its just an internet network, it just as if they were both the same operating system. They should be compatible with each other already.

SOURCE: Acer Internet Problem.

go to the Acer website and download the drivers for your make and model laptop if you do not have  teh original driver disks that came with your computer.
If the computer has a recovery partition, check and see if one of the recovery options allows you to restore drivers only.
If your acer cannot access the internet because you do not have drivers for the direct or wireless network connections, you can still access the make and model support and drivers files from the Acer web site and burn to a CDROM or save to a jump drive to install on your laptop - or you can request a driver CD for a small $$ from Acer.

  2. In the left pane, click Create a system repair disc, and then follow the steps. 18abb370-ac1e-4b6b-b663-e028a75bf05b.jpg If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

To use the system repair disc
  1. Insert the system repair disc into your CD or DVD drive.
  2. Restart your computer using the computer's power button.
  3. If prompted, press any key to start the computer from the system repair disc.
    • If your computer isn't configured to start from a CD or DVD, check the information that came with your computer. You might need to change your computer's BIOS settings.
  4. Choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  5. Select a recovery option, and then click Next.

SOURCE: My Acer Webcam Is Gone Ever Since I Installed Windows 7!?

As with all laptops parts are sourced from different manufacturers. Laptops had to be certified for WIN 7. Some ACERs laptop models are, but if the model wasnt certified for the WIN 7 platform they would not have developed a driver for your model. After checking ACER did NOT certify this unit as Windows 7 Compatibile due to driver incompatibilities. You can either downgrade to Windows Vista.. which will require a full reformat of drive (WIN 7 doesnt just uninstall) and reinstall from fresh VISTA.. so be sure and save your data. Or you can determine who makes the webcam in teh notebook and see if the manufacturer has a direct driver..OR FINALLY.. you could load the Vista driver and then go into the webcam software you use and right click and say run in "Windows vista" or "Windows XP" compatible mode. Be sure and keep looking at ACER to see if they state your system can go to Win 7 at a later date as sometime manufacturers will make drivers available which could change its status.

Is it possible to install windows xp 2 when there is already windows 7 is installed.i want to install both os running in my dell vostro 1015 laptop,

Yes you will have to format your drive and remove partitions, then create new partitions and add a boot up option menu. Then when you power on your computer it will ask if you want to boot Windows 7, or Windows XP. You will have to have both copies of Windows also your restore partition can't do this.

Hello my tv expert can't work in window 7 what can i do?

The thing that you can try is to run it in Vista compatibility.

Try to locate the exe file from where the program runs. Then right click on it and go to properties. Then go to the compatibility tab. There you would find a check box to run it in compatibility, just select Windows Vista from the list. Apply the settings and try again.

Hope this works!

C4180 ON A NETWORK. BOUGHT A NEW LAPTOP AND WANT TO PRINT

Install the software on the laptop first and when it asks to connect the device, continue without connecting. Once finished, ensure the printer on the desktop is being shared in the printers folder. Then on the laptop add a device and search the network. If your 2 computers have the network established it should see it.
