Your laptop does not have windows 7 support on the acer site. I would definately not recommend installing a bios that is not in english. You might end up with a laptop that is completely unusable.
notice the windows 7 selection is x'd out on the acer site.
If you flash the bios incorrectly by using a bios that is not for the US machines. You probably will regret
it.

shows the x1700, not the ax1700
for windows 7
Acer seems to have more than one model 1700 and the same model series. so it was confusing.
the two bios that are there are R01-b1 and r01-b3.
which do you have?

The problem is that ACER has no application support for Vista or Windows 7.
The applications you were using were only available with XP.
To get those applications back, you'd have to revert to XP and reinstall those applications.
Sure, you can install Windows 7 and get some, if not all driver support, but no application support.
