I just got this. But you can't change WALLPAPER? What? I actually bought this from a store, but this is the same exact model. I like how it came loaded with various software and stuff, but then when I simply tried to change my wallpaper, its not there! Is this on every model made?

There is also software you can download that will do it, but I recommend next time before you buy a computer like this to read up on everything because there are a lot of hidden surprises.

Bought this laptop for my granddaughter. She has had it two months and it has frooze up. Will not log off. Just sits there. Any suggestions?

From the reviews I read it is because it is only Windows Starter - You need to purchase the full version of Windows to make changes like that.

Sandy - I would reccomend MANUALLY shutting it down (Don't remove battery, press & hold the power button til you hear the fan stop) that should get it off for you, Once turned on load SAFE MODE, go thru and remove ANYTHING she may of added recently that may be causing her issues. If you don't know what to remove just tell me the list of things on her computer & I can tell you if there's anything I see right off the bat that should be removed.

My son loaded the windows 7 update and now has problems like Black screen and runs very slow. Any ideas?

This is prepared and will come off of a wall that has been sized (with wallpaper sizing). It's just a thin barrier on your painted wall. Then when you wallpaper, it's just a matter of wetting it to remove it. Wash the sizing off the wall and it looks just like it did before. If done properly, wallpaper should never take any of the paint off a wall or damage it. The wallpaper is gorgeous.

I think you will have to buy a copy and reimage it. I have been very happy with Windows 8. You might want to try it for a while before investing in 7. Good luck!

I don't know if you guys realize the package of which the new one's light pattern is covered by a piece of paper compared to the old one's light pattern showing clearly. Do you guys think it means something? although it is absolutely genuine and it is not that bad, I feel not so good for this unannounced change. Actually, the old light pattern 500G does exist, but its box is using entirely plastic packing just like the special edition version. Both of them are sold in my local bestbuy store, so I can compare them head to head. In addition, the new one's bottom and sides are plastic, but for the old version only the sides are plastic. It looks like I did too much researches, but just for fun.

it has win 7 Starter, and you can (I did) upgrade to win 7 home premium. it takes it about an hour, so do it plugged in. MSFT has a program you can d/l and run that will tell you if the hardware is OK to upgrade. I ran it and it said everything was good to upgrade. Even tho I upgraded the ram to 2GB it's still very slow. I can't imaging using it for anything productive. Just a portable PC for when you really need one that's nice and small.

Apparently there are two similar screens, the one I had didn't work because it was a HD screen and the laptop was not HD. I am not sure how to determine which is which, but I could not find a screen for the laptop that I was working on. Best to call the supplier to be sure you get the right one if it is available.

Mine was "like new" and I can only say how happy I have been with it. :-)I have purchased a number of refurbished products over the years and rarely - rarely - have I been disappointed!I also know of some that have not worked for friends; but rather than "going back" for another, they chose to go "new."We all have different levels of acceptability or patience. I do expect the units I get to work as if they were new! I understand the "refurbished" moniker and feel it is a great way to "sell" an "almost new" unit. Good luck with yours, if you choose one!

The instructions state clearly how to do it... but not through the control panel. It is easier than that! 1. Right click or touch on the blank area of Windows (I assume you have Windows 8.1) 2. Personalize --&gt;Display 3. Use the menu on the right hand side. From here you can do anything, resolution, color, text size, etc. Hope this helped!

I painted mine to ensure a longer lasting finish. Plus, it's easier to clean after it's painted. I absolutely love this wallpaper. I've used in on my kitchen ceiling and several interior walls of my house. It's held up well over the years. Good luck!

How do you open it to add memory? I have had this for about 3 days, and it seems to work well, but my wife complains it is too slow on her farmville mega-ranch :) There is no documentation or anything at the acer site. The owners manual just says to "take out screws", but I only see one visible screw in the bottom. I removed it, but nothing came apart. It seems to be a nice PC, removed all the free-software and it runs everything well so far. It is also so small and quiet.Any help would be appreciated.

Hey! Nah, I did not buy it from that seller and nope, chances are it's not the original. even the one I got wasn't good it was missing the little plastic screen that goes on the window pane. I sent a message to seller to see what's up and yet no answer.

Wouldn't it be great if WD published such clear comparisons! Here are a few differences from what I can tell - I'm sure there are more:1. No netflix on this one2. Default UI is a little different with favorite tiles showing up by default rather than scrolling options across the bottom3. I can stream content to this one from other devices which is a little nifty. I don't think the old one did this but maybe so.4. I can't set my favorite .jpg as the background on this one - previous one supported this.I'm sure there are other things.

Hmmm... I thought Amazon had straightened this out. When I ordered mine the add specified Windows 7 Pro, but it actually came with Window 7 Home. I got a $50.00 refund because of the error. Let Amazon know.

There are multiple versions of screens on this Product Line. There is a matte version which is Full HD IPS but is not a touch screen. My model has a gloss screen, but not overly so. It too is Full HD IPS but supports touch which was key for me in making the move to Windows 8. AFAIK, Amazon is selling the Glossy/Touch version.

I have spent many hours trying to get picture details set for good picture. Was so relieved to see your mention of July 8th review and have thoroughly searched and a July 8th review is not available currently. There is a July 9th (as best I recall) lengthy review that mentions black tweaking must be done, but makes no mention of the actual settings. I recall seeing several weeks ago a reviewer gave all of his/her specific settings. If anyone can suggest further settings info, I'll appreciate greatly. I am considering returning my LN32A450 this week if I can't get more satisfactory settings. I have spent many hours trying to get picture details set for good picture.
