Well I thought I was getting somewhere with my last post. Today has not started well.
Just spoke to Acer (another department) and have been catagorically told this is not their problem but Microsoft.
Due to upgrading to Win7 I invalidated any help from Acer, and invalidated my Vista windows. I was never told when I purchased this laptop that all warrentys were invalid if I upgraded.
The bummer of this story, I have three genuine windows discs (1 Vista & 2 Win7) all now invalidated by Microsoft and being told I need to purchase again another one!!!!
Acer says the BIOS (that reads Vista) is nothing to do with them. The moment one upgrades all manufacturer support finishes.
QUESTION: Will a new win7 disc rectify the BIOS vista reading? I was told yesterday by tech it wouldn't without a manufacterer's tech and Acer is refusing to help. Also the Acer drivers that don't work anymore due to win7, there are no upgrades for these as this laptop was never compatible with win7, so only Vista version drives available. Tech yesterday told me I will still encounter problems while the drivers are not working.
Is it time to throw my 400 pound unused laptop in the bin???? and save for another 2 years until I can purchase another laptop. I feel totally robbed.
I will never purchase a computer that offers upgrades ever again. Please take note and save yourself from ending up with a computer that is absolutely useless.
Any suggestions would be great.
