AZ5771 freezes during Windows 10 installation at 70% and returns it to Windows 7

Tried the "update" method on Windows 10 for the Acer AZ5771 all-in one and it does fine until the 70% mark when it is installing the software and drivers.  Then the screen goes black and just stays there (30 minutes one time).  Figuring it is frozen, I punch the power button to do a hard power cycle.  Upon restarting it tries to continue the installation, then reverts to restoring the old Win7 program.  I've also tried to do a "fresh" install from a USB drive, but when prompted for the activation key the one stamped on the back it came with shows as "not valid."  Anybody got any idea where to go from here?  Acer's support page on this seems pretty confusing, unless I'm looing at the wrong one.  Thanks in advance.

it's better if you sucessfully update to windows 10, since your windows 7 license will be switched to a windows 10 license. if you do a clean install, you can skip the activation key steps (windows 7-8.x key will not work) and install windows 10 without issue....apart activating, this will need a genuine windows 10 key.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - Reinstalling freezes during "Preparing for Installation..."

    Hi,
    I'm using an Apple MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard).
    I have installed Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium and Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium.
    As written in my other post (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650516?tstart=0), I am unable to find a solution to reinstall my Adobe printer driver.
    That's why I thought I might be able to just reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro completely.
    However, when trying this, the installation freezes during the "Preparing for Installation..." screen.
    I also tried installing in Safe Mode but without success.
    I found some posts regarding this but mostly the solution is to uninstall CS4 completely and to reinstall it again from scratch. But of course I would like to fix the problem without the need to reinstall everything.
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hi Larry,
    thanks for your message!
    I found that out later as well, see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2857742#2857742 .
    However, the problem I tried to describe in this post, is that I cannot reinstall Acrobat as it just freezes during the Installation.
    Do you know any work-around for that?
    Thanks,

  • Satellite A100-002 - Freezes during Windows 7 installation

    Hi
    I have 1. Satellite A100-002 and 2. big problem with installation of Windows 7.
    2 yeras ago i tried to install Wista - but it froze during installation every time i tried. of course I tried different versions of Wista.
    once i was successful with installation - but it keep freezing al the time - immediately after start.
    so i gave up - and went back to XP
    now I try to install Windows 7 - and again the same problems :(
    can anybody tell me whats wrong??? - a really need it.
    thanx a lot

    it froze any time :(
    during the instalation. after coping files, extracting, and during finishing of instalation it froze.
    then after 10 restarts of notebook i finaly see the desktop of W7 - but only for 30 second - then it froze.
    from that time it forze always after rebooting the NB ussualy whe it showed "starting windows"
    sometimes starting of system gets further and it shows error mesage that teh instalation didnt finished correctly and that system need to reboote computer. then system reboot NB and then its it froze during "starting widows"
    now i get another version of W7.
    it looked good because i succefully finshed instalation - not whole because the system needed to restart NB to totaly finish instalation. so it rebooted NB and then during finishing of instalation it froze:(
    from that time it impossible to start W7.
    I instal W7 on HDD with formating of primar partition - to remove everything of previous system.
    or what do you mean by "using SATA drivers or install it in Compatibility mode?"

  • Freeze during iWork 09 installation

    The installer froze during the installation of iWork 09 trail. I downloded from Apple.com and opened the dmg file. The installation froze at the stage "Configuring Installation". I waited for about 1 day and I finally gave up. Is there something wrong?

    That section takes seconds to finish. You should not have to wait longer than minutes to install iWork. Run Disk Utility or similar to check for problems on your system and then reinstall.

  • Ipod isn't recognize by 7.0 and iTunes freezes during 1.2 installation

    I have a two problems with my ipod since upgrading to version 7.0. First, when I connect my ipod to my computer, iTunes doesn't always pop up like it should. When I open iTunes, it doesn't always recognize the ipod at all. However, if I reboot, and then connect the ipod and then open iTunes manually, it recognizes. If I close out and then go back into iTunes or disconnect the ipod and reconnect, iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod. I have to reboot every time I want to use iTunes and my iPod.
    Second, when the iPod is recognized and I open iTunes, it asks me "Do you want to install ipod software 1.2?" I click Install, iTunes freezes. There's this bar that goes back and forth, but that's it. The ipod itself doesn't display "do not disconnect," it's just has the main menu on the screen. I tried giving it needs some time to install, so I let my computer sit there for 4 hours, but still nothing. The same bar goes back and forth, nothing changes. I have to Ctrl + Alt + Del to exit out of iTunes. I reinstalled the ipod and itunes software from the CD and restored at least 5 times each. I keep running into the same problems. I verified that my laptop meets all of the Windows requirements for 7.0, but I can't figure out what the problem is.
    Does anyone else have these issues?

    I have exactly the same issues with my new 80G iPOD. I have found that when connecting to my PC, the iPOD does not start iTUNES 7. This can be resolved by stopping the iPOD Service in Computer Management, connecting the iPOD and then starting it again. Then when you start iTUNES it finds the iPOD. - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    Seems like a stupid long-winded way to do things, but at least you can get some stuff on to your iPOD.
    As far as using Restore goes - I just get the restoring iPOD message you described, which it blatantly isn't :((

  • Why captivate freezes during the publishing phase to pdf and html?

    I have more than 10 hours trying to figure out what is the problem. It is a shame that instead of focussing my self in making the job done, I have to focus my self in figure out why it get frozen and crashes.

    Well, I dunno if Ccgbkjgk will answer you, but for me, it's every video I publish to video (to a file) and it won't even connect to YouTube because it says I have the wrong username/password combo, but I've typed the in several times, successfully logged into the website typing them in over and over, and it's happened on everything I've tried to upload directly to YouTube (4 projects).
    So, as of now, I've given up on video Demos and gone back to FCPX, which WILL upload to YouTube, gives me more options in editing and is significantly cheaper.
    Unfortunately, I still have to use Captivate with it's backwards Mac keyboard shortcuts, and inability to option click and drag (seriously?!?!?). </rant> Sorry for that. I'm up against deadlines and am extremely frustrated.

  • HP Pavillion p6240f freezes during boot up - Not enough space in Runtime area!!

    Hello,
    My HP Pavillion p6240f desktop freezes during boot up.  After POSTing and listig the USB connections, it displays the following on the bottom of the screen:
    Not enough space in Runtime area!! SMBIOS data will not be available. Press F1 to resume.
    I went into setup, and this is the BIOS data:
    AMI BIOS revision 5.16  BIOS Date: 01/13/2010
    Core Version 08.00.15
    Can anyone help me?  I have found no solutions after heavily searching the internet, and it is important that this computer have unattended reboot after a power outage.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Try clearing the CMOS.
    If the above doesn't work then remove two of the four dimms (every odd dimm) and then again clear the CMOS. If this should work then power down and reinstalled the two dimms and again clear the CMOS and reboot.
    If the above doesn't work then you might have to visit the local PC repair shop.
    If you can get unattended boot after power outage to work then there is a bios setting that needs to be changed. Boot into the bios and look under the power drop down. The after AC power failure needs to be set to AUTO (restart). Be sure to save the settings.

    i have Sony Vaio VGN-N11M, 32Bits. i used to run windows XP and iTunes was working fine, after installing windows 7, i tried to install iTunes but it freezes during installation, and i have to reboot.
    i Created a New User Account but the same problem happened, also Removed iTunes Plug-ins, checked the Conflicting Processes and Disconnected the computer from the Internet whilst installation but still the same thing keep happening.

  • Why does Acrobat XI PRO freeze during save or save as tasks in Window 8?

    Why does Acrobat XI PRO freeze during save or save as tasks in Window 8?  It is intermittent, but CHRONIC, and I am forced to "repair" the installation, or reboot by computer.  This has been a problem since upgrading to Windows 8 and installing the only Acrobat XI update.  Feedback most welcome and appreciated, but an Adobe FIX would be the best solution.

    10/4 to all, same problem here with Save or Save As in Acrobat XI Pro using Win 8 Pro, is it Adobe or Win 8 or both causing the problem.
    FYI, I just retired and am trying to archive/reduce my printed material and pictures to pdf, this continuing problem is really the pits.................

  • Why does my system freeze during reader install on windows 7

    why does my windows 7 system freeze during adobe reader installition

    Is is hard to say. It could be anything from a corrupt font, interference from virus protection, corruption due to a virus, hard disk directory problems, etc. Are you able to download the full installer? Did you have a previous version of Reader on your System? What version of Reader are you trying to install?
    Generally, if you clean your system of previous versions and bad installs:

    You can then install. Try using this installer:

  • Freezes during "starting windows" message even after factory reset.

    I've gone through diagnostic tests and they've shown it wasn't a hardware error. After a failed update to windows 10 my computer rolled back to windows 7. After the rollback when attempting to boot win 7 It froze and hung on the starting windows screen.  At first i was able to boot in safe mode and navigate the desktop and drivers, but after plenty of failed fixes i had to result to a factory reset with alienrespawn. After the factory reset the issue still persists, and i can no longer boot up in safe mode. When i do, it tries to do first time installation and says that i has to reboot in normal mode to complete first time config. My computer didn't come with a disk so i can't re-install windows 7, and factory reset dosen't seem to fix the issue. All I need is to resolve this issue so i can get back with a clean slate to upgrade to windows 10. Any ideas?

  • Freeze during boot after enabling Hyper-V feature in Windows 8

    Good day.
    I'm using AMD FX 8320 with 990FXA-GD65. After enabling hyper-v my pc freezing during boot.  Google told me that it might be issue with USB 3.0 controller, so i disabled it in bios, but result still the same.
    Can you please tell me where should i look at?

    Hi,
    Please try to boot into WinRE and run the Startup Repair option.
    Generally speaking, when you add feature like Hyper-V, system would take a long time to get this feature configured. if your computer still stay updates configuration steps, you can use Windows 8.1 installation image to repair system. In system repair mode,
    you can access into Command Prompt mode, and check CBS.log under C:\Windows\logs\CBS.
    This log file would record Windows installation process, we may find the problem of Hyper-V installation.

  • Freeze during installation of XP with ms-6547

    I bought a ms-6547 (MSI 645 Ultra-C) last year and tried to make it run at least once in vain!!!! The problem is that the computer freezes when loading the drivers during the installation of Win XP Pro   and I still don't understand why... I gave up after one month work on it but last week I decided to try again. Here is my config:
    -CPU: P4 1.6a fsb 400
    -Bios: 3.3
    -ram: 256 DDR 2100 Dane Elec (I have 3 modules so I tried them all they have hynix, samsung and the last one is winbond chips) tested with memtest during 48h (ok)
    -HDD: IBM 20Go 7200rpm
    -Graphic card: Geforce 2 Ti (leadteck) or Geforce 4 MX 440 (leadteck) (I tested both)
    -CD-Rom: I tried all those I had (about 5-6 different cd-roms) but it doesn't change anything
    -PCI: none but i would like to add a network adapter in the far future when this jklfghnglhbndflhbn machine will work!!!!
    I tried to desactivate the onboard usb and audio but still the same!
    Can anyone tell me what to do or give me a bios setup that can make it run?
    Please help i am turning mad. I wanted to build a cheap machine and now it is a financial desaster  

    Ok, I'm having similar problems here.  Let me start off with my story.
    Got an 865PE Neo2-PFISR.  Hooked it up with an SATA HDD, 160GB.  I set the Integraged Peripherals to S-ATA mode and When I ran the XP CD, it would load the drivers and at the "Setup is starting Windows" screen, I would get a Blue error screen.
    Turns out I needed to set the Integrated Peripherals to "Native Mode" rather than "Legacy mode" and also "S-ATA".
    When I loaded windows, it set up just fine.  Got into windows and voila, no prob, was running pretty good.
    then, DUN, DUN, DUN, the 400W PSU went on me, I had to diagnose it and I want with a 500W Antec unit.
    So I wasn't too happy with the way windows was running, I decided to do a fresh install before I got back to normal.  I tried the XP CD with the correct bios settings, Loaded the drivers, got to the "Setup is starting Windows" screen and FROZE.  I jus can't get past that screen, even flashed my bios and nothing, tore the entire system down and rebuilt it, tried one stick of ram, nothing.
    Gave up with the fresh XP install, went back into the previously installed windows, and it ran fairly good.  But now, it keeps freezing in windows.  It will run fine under normal load, but as soon as I put some strain on the system (say I'm photoshoping and listening to MP3s or I'm watching a DVD, everything will freeze up and I have to restart.
    One funny thing I noticed when I restart from this freezing.  The reset button will not do.  If I reset from the freeze, It'll restart, but then I'll get stuck on the initial MSI screen.  So, everytime I freeze, I have to power down fully and restart.
    I highly doubt I have bad ram or processor or VGA, It's either the Mobo or some settings.  I contacted newegg and requested an RMA, So I'm going to start with a new board with an exchange.  I jus hate to pay for shipping now.
    Anyway, I'm using Geil Platinum DDR500 (PC4000) Dual channel Ram (1GB), this was on MSI's compatible memory List, so I don't think I'll have a problem with the ram.  I haven't attempted to overclock yet.
    Should I try other stuff (I'll have to rebuild the system again) or should I wait to receive a new board?
