I have the acer5715/5315 series abd it crashed. I had it fixed and the guy put windows 7 so now none of my acer programs work. How can I get these to work with windows 7

Operating System Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2
Windows XP Home with Service Pack 2

Windows Vista Home Basic
Windows Vista Starter

1. Before upgrading to windows 7, you must check the specification of your acer aspire 5315.

2. Windows 7 is better than windows vista but if you are really wanted those acer programs to work. You have to downgrade your operating system from your previous operating system.

Acer laptop vista home basic

Easiest solution is to reinstall Vista.

You may be able to do this without losing your data (Do a Rpair rather than an Install) but I suspect that this will not remove the password.

I have not done what I am about to describe with Vista so I am not sure if this is even an option, but you may be asked to create User Accounts when repairing Vista (same as when doing an Install) - if this is the case you could create a new account and give it Administrator rights. When you restart the computer - enter as the Administrator and change the Attributes of the original account (remove the password). As I said, I don't know if this is an option with Vista.

Note: I have just uninstalled Vista for the second time (reverting back to XP), I may give Vista a go again when SP2 or SP3 comes out and then again I may not. So my knowledge and ability to experiment with Vista is now non limited or non existant.

Good luck.
