Upgrading to Windows 7 from Vista with disks supplied by ACER

I am currently using Vista and I received a Windows 7 upgrade from ACER.
There are 2 disks as follows:-
1. Acer Upgrade DVD containing
Acer Upgrade Wizard
Applications, Drivers for Windows 7
2. Windows 7 containing
64 Bit software only
The upgrade Wizard was easily loaded.
The Wizard then requested the Windows 7 disk and started reading the information when it stopped and displayed the following message.
“The following issues are preventing Windows from Upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, complete each task, and then restart the upgrade to continue.
For these items, make the following changes:
Uninstall these programs. Open Control Panel and search for ‘Uninstall a Program.
‘’’Kaspersky Anti-Virus’’’

I cannot find this program on my system.
I have searched the entire computer including Non-Indexed, Hidden and System Files.

Try this:

  • Start
  • Run
  • Type regedit
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • Software
  • Find Kaspersky
  • And delete that value

Try downloading CCleaner, which is free utility that will clean out all your temp files and also scan your registry for issues.

When a program is uninstalled, such as Kaspersky anti-virus, not all registry components are cleared out.

This is particularly the case if the program was a 30 day trial.

The registry retains details of the original installation to prevent consecutive 30 day trials.

CCleaner should clean it out. Run the Registry Issues component until it reports no issues found and then try your install again.

Did you do ALL your windows update before the Service Pack? That SP has been out for years? Doesn't your laptop have Windows Updates set to Auto? Choose one or the other, Vista or Win 7 and do a Full Install.

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 Premium
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.

I will recommend that you download and run the free Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It helps find issues with your computer’s hardware, devices that might affect installing Windows 7. Go to the Windows 7 Compatibility Center find direct links to drivers, updates, and downloads.

What is the bit on my acer aspire 5570z

Your laptop is designed to use 32-bit due to its compactness, so you need to get a 32-bit version of Windows 7. Since your laptop is not designed to handle power-intensive applications such as AutoCAD, ArcGIS, or video editing, I would not recommend upgrading to the 64-bit version. You may also want to visit Microsoft's Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor site for helpful tips: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

I tried to upgrade my acer t180 to windows 7 from vista basic, no i"m having dmi problems... seems like it's stuck... help please

Hello kelajo34,

There might be a Desktop Management Interface (DMI) compatibility problem with Windows 7 and the Acer T180 Vista Basic DMI. The Acer support Windows 7 eligible systems link shows all the Acer computers that are fully compatible with windows 7. (Acer T180 is NOT in this list !):
http://www.acer.com/windows7upgrade/eligible.html

Also, It might be a good idea to run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor before upgrading from vista basic to Windows 7 on the Acer T180. The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor download link is at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1b544e90-7659-4bd9-9e51-2497c146af15&displaylang=en
