I experienced the same problem when upgrading to windows 7. I lost some functionality of the touchpad buttons as well.
There wasn't any explanation for this when I checked the Acer site and the Microsoft site, except that Windows 7 doesn't support all of the old peripherals or accessories or Vista software that may have come with the Vista computers originally.
Cinedash FIX for Windows 7 This works to fix the CineDash Media Console! I had the same problem with my Aspire 8920G Now it works fine. Getting the CineDash Media Console and Launch Buttons working If you have problems with either the CineDash Media Console or Launch buttons then you will be happy to hear that the solution for fixing these is easy! The first thing that you will need to do is install the “Launch Manager” which can be downloaded off the Acer website. Go to http://www.acer.com and click the service support, then driver download. Go to your model. Download the Launch Manager on the acer site. The filename should be “Kilimanjaro_v2.0.00_Vistax32×64_XPx32×64.zip” the version of Launch Manager under the Windows Vista operating system .This will get the Email, Web and Empowering Technology buttons working with their default settings. If you need to change what the buttons do, you can launch the application named “Launch Manager” in the start menu. Uninstall any previous version of Launch Manager The solution to my problem was to get the Launch Manager to run in compatibility mode for Windows Vista Service Pack 2. Unzip. Explore the new folder and right-click Setup.exe. To do this go to the Launch Manager Install directory (C:\Program Files\Launch Manager ), right-click on “setup.exe”, select the “troubleshoot compatibility” tab, check the “Troubleshoot program” check box and then click “The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won’t install or run now”. Then select “Windows Vista Service Pack 2”. Then click “Start” program. Now everything should work properly! It will install. But don’t reboot yet! Now locate and explore the freshly installed folder in your program files directory – (probably C:\Program Files (x86)\Launch Manager or C:\Program Files\Launch Manager depending on if you are running 64-bit or 32-bit) right-click on “LManager.exe”, select the “troubleshoot compatibility” tab, check the “Troubleshoot program” check box and then click “The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won’t install or run now”. Then select “Windows Vista Service Pack 2”. Then click “Start” program. Now everything should work properly! It will install. Reboot and enjoy properly synced volume, and fully functioning buttons.
Alright, so I have the Aspire 5630 and after installing Windows 7 32 bit, the media keys did not work. Just installing the latest Launch Manager didn't work. But here's what did work for me: Install the 3.0.04 version of the Launch Manager (LaunchManager_Dritek_3.0.04_W7x64W7x86_A.zip) If the link doesn't work, just select the Acer Aspire 7730 in the Service & Support section of their website, choose Windows 7 as the OS, and you'll see the Launch Manager under the Application tab.
After installing that and rebooting, the media still didn't work for me (though another user reports that they worked at this point). What I then did was download the latest Launch Manager for the Aspire 5630 for Vista (same deal as before if the link doesn't work, but select the 5630 and Vista instead). Extract the .zip, then take the "LManager.exe" file from the zip and replace the one in "C:program filesLaunch Manager" (back up the existing one if you so desire.) If Launch Manager is already running, right click on it's icon in tray and close it, then launch the one you just copied over (which will also now be the one that is launched automatically on start).
At this point, all of my media keys were working.
Hope this helps!
