You Need To Boot From The XP CDrom...
Press Power Button To Boot, Hold Down F-12, Choose To Boot From CDROM, Go Through The Windows Setup Process, Remove Vista (delete it), then Format and Install XP...

Your 7520 can use the drivers from another acer model, for instance, try aspire 3000, or 5000 drivers.. or try another model...
If it's not the correct one, it will not install and throw up an error telling you it is incompatable and not going to install....

I can't use bluetooth on my Acer Aspire 7520

This computer does not have Bluetooth capabilities and you can't make it, by adding a Bluetooth Driver. It would need a Bluetooth transmitter and receiver HARDWARE built into the computer at the time of manufacture..

Acer 7520 XP unstable usb ports

paul if so thn that product will not be launched in market.


urs is giving problem bcs of two reasons.

1. pls unnstall the USB drivers from Driver manager and then do wht i suggest.
,i think the most likely reason is bcs u havnt install the correct drivers installed for USB, pls find drivers, or download it and reinstall drivers. then restart it , the solution u will be see and infact if ur USB then also this is the soultion for that.

2. the last and leastt possible cause is ur HW problem. pls visit nearest lappy shop if 1st method doesnt work.

Cant restore my acer aspire 5100

ok well first iv had nothing but bad luck with them. i think you would need to buy a new copy of windows xp, u can choose the version. you cant get your factory settings back with all the programs that acer gives you when you buy your pc, unless they send you a new hard drive. the restore cds i think with acer word from that specific restore partition on the hard drive. and with most pcs from i think 2002 and up have the F11 option with the restore partition to reset and restore your computer. when they erased your hard drive, they erased every little bit of data that was on it. me personally can restore all, if not some of the information and personal data you have. please email me the model # serial # and as much else info you can provide of your computer. and i will do as much as i can to help. if you have any more questions, please email me at [email protected]
