Posted August 1, 200816 yr A client gave me 'Acer Aspire 5720' (http://tinyurl.com/6z5t5r) laptop today, with the express instructions that: "Get rid of that &!@%!* Vista, and install a copy of XP please." I laughed at the SINCERITY of his comment. When I asked him what the problem with Vista was, he replied: "Just about everything. Nothing works - all the applications I used to use don't $!@$% work under Vista, and the $@%! is just a @%!^@* of a system." Well, the funnies aside, does anyone know if this model Acer can run XP? I told him that Acer are of the the few who have Vista-only BIOS's, and as such, it might be impossible to install XP on this laptop, so before I start, I thought I would ask if anyone here knows if you can install XP on this laptop. The Acer website is not very helpful... -- charliewill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ charliewill's Profile: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/member.php?userid=203 View this thread: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17973
