Acer Aspire One running Windows Vista

[addingvids117]

Theres a new acer aspire one netbook that comes with windows vista preinstalled and 2gb ram 250 HDD and 499.90+tax but a new netbook that comes with vista and not windows 7 my netbook came with windows 7 why not that new netbook come with windows 7?.

[menziesicknut]

i done this to but my internet doesnt work im on a different comeputer right now but how do i get the interenet back to work on it its wireless ?

[1536mbComedy]

@menziesicknut what you have to do is go to the Acer website and download the wireless driver (this is on a different computer of course), transfer that file over on a flash drive, install that on your Vista netbook, and it should work (I recommend Ubuntu Linux to people, it runs much better)

[DOMINILOCO]

Does it has the factory restore?

[15coolist]

thumps up if acer are great with xp

[313bassplayer]

acer is the worst

[1536mbComedy]

Windows XP does recognize the Intel Atom's hyperthreading, my netbook has Windows XP Pro on it and it reads it as 2 cpu's, I saw a netbook in radio shack that has windows xp home on it and even that saw it as 2 cpu's, also, I have the exact same netbook as you do, I had Windows 7 on it for a while, but downgraded back to XP

[ThePhoneUpdate]

I have Vista Basic on my netbook, and it's perfectly fine, definitely prefer it to XP, Mine isn't modified though, just retail vista.

[VOREVTO]

HEY MAN LOOK THE NETBOOK CAN IS TAKE CD HOW YOU PUT THE VISTA?

[paulsu27]

@VOREVTO What I think you ment was "how do you install Vista on a netbook when you don't have a CD drive" you can plug in a USB CD drive. I put win 7 home premium on my netbook, it's a Eeepc 1005HA but now they come pre-installed with win 7 but it's a basic version with no aero interface.

[VOREVTO]

@paulsu27 so what i do where i fond it to download it vista or 7 with stik?

[paulsu27]

@VOREVTO I'm not gonna tell you how too download it, that would be illegal and your likely to download a virus. But you can get vista and windows 7 online for around £60-70 look for an OEM version but buy from a reputable company like ebuyer dot com as there are a lot of scams going on. There are several guides as to how to install vista from a USB stick just google it.

[XxAARON49232]

xp is better then both

[computermadjack]

@XxAARON49232 XP is nearly 10 years old. It has half of the features in Vista and Windows 7, it has hardly any support for next generation hardware (like 64bit) and is just god damn horrible compared too windows 7 and vista. Get your facts right.

[slansersMOVIES]

you have got windows aero why dont u use it? i have win 7 cripler and it mightbe a bit slower but who cares

[heavenofficial]

50 seconds...have you disabled unneeded startup services & programs?

[83NNYT]

Where did you get the WLAN and LAN drivers for Vista? I can't seem to find any that work...

[ThisIs2009]

cool :-) now try running it without modifying vista!

[jayzddskds]

i have a acer aspire d250 and 1 day i booted it up and said i needed to reinstall windows how do i repair that also can i just plug in a usb stick that has windows vista on it and just install that or how can i repair it help!!!!!!

[koski316]

did you get the webcam working. I've installed vista lite onto my acer one months ago but it doesnt see the webcam. Well it does but as a usb cam and doesnt work. Cant find the driver anywhere.

[yulooz]

What if i dont like vista on my aspire one. Will the recovery partition be deleted when i install vista. I dont want to f up my machine.

[SonySasuke]

no it will not.

[Thegamer5150]

win 7 runs well on it as well plus its alot faster strange how xp didn't see the 2 cores since Mine did

[4runnerOfTheFuture]

Very cool. I gotta do that when I get mine. I have a copy of Ultimate 32 bit I'll use because I don't like Windows 7... anyway, thats a great wallpaper for that netbook too. Thanks!

[junny2233]

What or where can i find the driver for ethernet controller because i have the window vista but the pc ask me for the ethernet driver

help me please

[Tripwire4x]

So if i had a 4 GB SD card would that technicaly be adding 4gb of RAM

[tmat56]

No, Sd is for Storage, Ram is for speed.

[MrNobodyImportant]

Cool BTW you can upgrade the RAM

[emrodriguez25626]

Nice Video! My Acer Aspire One w/ XP Home Shows both treads... You should try the Windows 7 RC it about 100 times better than Vista. I had Vista on A i7 6gb ddr3 4850x2 system and it still ran slow Windows 7 is much better

[computerfreak785]

Windows 7 is MUCH better than vista..

[LegalJEP]

Windows 7 looks the same as vista

[GamePro0012]

No it doesn't. Look closer, idiot.

[LegalJEP]

It looks somewhat the same you asswipe!Go to hell!

[GamePro0012]

Yeah, SOMEWHAT the same, but not the EXACT same.

[LegalJEP]

Fine it looks very similiar

[josephfurmanowski310]

@computerfreak785 Windows 7 SUCKS! Its a piece of junk!

[silveratto]

As your laptop is ram? and you can upload a video on the resolution of the webcam? to see that this works

[jon204]

i have the same one ram is 1gb=1024 and vista run fast

[GamePro0012]

I thought the Aspire One couldn't run Windows Vista.

[jon204]

wrong i have dual boot vista and xp

[12365paul]

how do you get the wireless two work and the webcam the drivers

[12365paul]

can you use media centre on vista on the

Acer Aspire One

[jdm19942]

i got a ? how do you make a readyboost

[MsJunaid2009]

fucking pc

[miiworld2]

What is your Acer model? Mine is a Zg5. I just want to know if yours is also a Zg5.

[Georgeqaws]

u should show the CPU and memory use

[haltzy]

i feel bad for you that you got vista... ( vista suckls

[beejm90]

Agreed

[miiworld2]

Disagree. I actually am happy for him that he got vista. I used to hate it too but I spend more time on it and it's great. You just need to take more time getting used to it y'know?

[beejm90]

I have been using Vista since It was released In early '07 & In 2 years my opponion hasn't changed. It's still slow, buggy, and bloated. Until Windows 7 Is out officially, I'll continue to use my XP on my PC's.

[1337Twig]

I can't get the wireless working ;[

[BritishRider]

My GF is getting this and she wants Vista on it.

[RenegadeMaster07]

get windows 7 release candidate. its free for a year and should be faster than vista, and if you have any problems with it... then instlal vista :)

[explosiv0]

how did you get vista on there without a dvd drive?

[TomSamurai]

Hey what atom is it?

Mine is the N270 @ 1.6GHz

[macaffee87]

What is a readyboost? What does it do?

[RenegadeMaster07]

readyboost allows you to use flash memory as extra RAM.

flash memory being USB pen drives or Memory cards (like you would use with a digital camera). It will only work if the memory is fast. So if you buy a memory card for that purpose, look for those labelled "class 6". (they will have a 6 with a circle around it if it does)

[macaffee87]

I see.... So, the bigger memory size of the SD card, the better. Is that it? Thanks a lot....

[RenegadeMaster07]

yeh, but as i said, speed is very important for it to work. So look for Class 6 memory cards or x170 or higher. That will help the computer run faster.

[macaffee87]

One more question, can the acer aspire one read SDHC or just a standard SD card? Thanks again...

[RenegadeMaster07]

im pretty sure its SDHC cos that was out long before the Acer One appeared. but check their website to be sure.

[Lolwtfrudoin]

It does. I managed to get my SDHC card working fine. :)

Cheers

[dallis65]

mine is running xp but i installed the zune theme and the royal theme and also the vistimazer program that makes xp look like vista. its fun being able to change up the look. also added star dock .

[isaidTV]

I installed vista on mine on my C drive... planning on using pqservice to go back to its original XP now it doesnt work and vista is going to be invalid this sucks....

[koski316]

where did you find the drivers for the webcam (vista)?

[ruzgarinogluahmet]

this is 8 gb ? my acer 8 gb 500 mb ram mit xp pro sp3

[nawaz2kx]

hey where did you download the ethernet and wi-fi drivers from? i've tried so many drivers but none of them work :( i'm using the 32-bit vista ultimate.

thanks

[sold13r45]

Did you ever find an ethernet driver for Vista on the Acer One?

[GGGG760]

[electrofreak321]

[jon204]

[SergeyKataev]

Why would you want to do windows to a computer?

[silverstonewebcam]

[SuperiorBeen]

Vista runs well with 1Gb Ram!

[jon204]

i have this netbook and its xp i am not going to risk what he did i like vista but this guy must be a pc tech i mean one mistake and your acer is an eraser lol

[ximulblue]

Installing Vista is easy using a usb dvd drive (I just used the innards of an external usb hdd connected to an ordinary dvd drive) Vista found all the drivers except wifi (but the acer xp driver works) and ethernet but update got that one! Installed also latest Intel GMA950 driver to get 2.7 WEI
