I have a brand new (just got it today) Acer Aspire Revo AR1600-U910H Mini Desktop PC. I purchased a brand new VGA cord today. I connected the cord to my 19 Dynex flat screen tv that I got from a friend. My dvd player and PS2 work on it just fine and have with NO problems for almost a year. I get to see the Windows XP opening page, then the screen goes blank and I get a message on the TV that reads: VGA MODE NOT SUPPORTED. So, I restart, hit f8 and enable vga mode. It goes to the desktop, but before it can load any icons it tells me that the system is not fully installed. The computer did not come with any installation cd's so i have no idea what that means. PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE!!!

    it's not a laptop it's a PC. Occasionally I will see a message that says: Splashtop Planner is not fully installed. Of course TigerDirect.com, the place I purchased the PC from, didnt give me any instructions as to how to set this thing up with my tv. That's my whole problem: I've connected the tv to the PC with brand new VGA cord. I power on the PC. The ACER sign comes on and it gives me the options F12 or DEL to go to the Boot Menu. I wait. The Windows XP sign comes up. The screen goes black. And the message on my tv reads: 'VGA mode not supported'. So I turn it off because I can't restart it from the Desktop because the computer won't let me get that far...yet. When it restarts I hit f8 and go to a menu that allows me to Enable VGA Mode. The PC restarts. It gets to the desktop. No icons load. Instead, a windows message pops up saying: 'The system is not fully installed. Please run set up again.'

VGA MODE NOT SUPPORTED, usually will meanthat the resolution your laptop was sending to the monitor wasnt supported.

this can be fixed with it plugged in and using the laptop display. you shoudl be able to chenge display properties and apply a different resolution to each screen.


system not fully installed is an interesting one. does it do this all teh time when you reboot now? with or without the monitor connected?

    OK, start it without the tv plugged in. so that it boots properly,then plug in your tv, then right click on your desktop and depending on which video card you have, go to your display properties and

    enable the second display, you can then select the correct resolution that your tv will support so that it will not display the unsupported format message. if you cant figure it out. let me know what brand of video card you have (ati or nvidia) and ill see what i can do about giving more detailed instructions.

What do I do when my acer r-1600 will not respond to the " F12 " button instructions?

what function does the F12 button do? maybe the program you are using doesnt make use of this function key, in which case nothing will happen. do other function keys work OK? maybe you need to push a Fn button as well to activate the F12 key. have you tried a different keyboard?

You can fix this problem by:

-- cleaning system junk
-- optimizing computer services
-- optimizing internet
-- repairing registry
-- defraging registry

do these things with some secure tool such as Intel Software Partner Reginout.

Thanks

Power but no display acer aspire L100

Try these sequence(you need another one good computer to test and interchange component and you will find out the problem):
- check your RAM, if you use two RAM start computer using one and interchange it to find out which one is bad
- if your RAM OK, check your VGA
- if your RAM and VGA OK, try to check your power supply, sometimes defective PS cannot supply sufficient power to all component to work.

hope this will help you.
