My acer runs XP. Not long time ago all the sounds which it provides became jerky, and I tried many cleaning, repairing programs, but it didn’t work. Can anyone offer a special music and video player program for this computer? I stopped antivirus programmes also, but the music was still jerky – and for more, not just music, but the signal sounds too.

Anyone can help me…?

Try this. Go into Device Manager, locate and then right click on the camera and uninstall it. Then right click anywhere on the list of devices and select “scan for hardware changes”. That should reinstall the camera and it should work. Let me know what happens.

I’ve never used linux so I am not sure how to comment. All I can advise is try uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. If that doesn’t work the cam itself may have failed. Beyond that, any help forum for linux with device malfunctions should give you some kind of insight. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

I agree, if you aren’t too computer savvy don’t attempt to do so. However if you do know a decent amount about computers, it isn’t too difficult of a task. Just take a lot of photos of each step you remove something so you know exactly how to put it all back together. I just wish upgrading RAM was just one easy plate on the bottom. It’s pretty lame where the RAM is located on this model!

Nope, the atom is a single core processor. Intel is working on a dual core atom processor for launch probably late 2009 or 2010. The reason the CPU in your netbook along with anyone else using an N270 Atom showing dual in the task manager is because it virtualizes it for better performance.

G-d bless you! I have been looking for a fix for my Acer Aspire One’s stuttering for a couple of weeks.

By: Dust

Dust — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 13:12:41 +0000

An update. It’s been a number of months but PIO took another stand. Which I promptly fixed with the same method. I also just did a RAM upgrade. If you’re thinking about it: a word of warning. Don’t attempt it if you’re not used to taking things apart. The entire computer has to be taken apart (at least on the models with the mouse buttons on the sides). I also had to reopen and close it a couple time to get everything lined back up and functional.

Dust: Bless you. I spent the last 24 hours wondering what had crippled my poor Acer and doing everything I could think of, and that script fixed it in 2 minutes. I know four other Acer users, some of whom have had this problem and some of whom haven’t, but they’re all going to get the script and keep it handy should PIO rear its ugly head. One of them wants to send you a fruit basket already. ;) THANK YOU!!!

Note on drivers.

To download drivers Goto this link.
http://us.acer.com/acer/service.do?LanguageISOCtxParam=en&miu10einu24.current.attN2B2F2EEF=3750&sp=page15e&ctx2.c2att1=25&miu10ekcond13.attN2B2F2EEF=3750&CountryISOCtxParam=US&ctx1g.c2att92=453&ctx1.att21k=1&CRC=2054404012

Click Netbook, then Aspire One.
The next list is a list of model numbers. Mine is on the bottom of the computer, on the sticker nearest the power port.

I like to download all of them and put them on a flash drive or a memory card. So I always have them on hand.

Thanks Dust!!!

Just removing the IDE channel and rebooting fixed my problems. I had “use DMA if Available” but it said I was using PIO mode.

Under “Administrative Tools|Performance” I was getting spikes to 100% every 5-7 seconds in Avg. Disk Queue and Processor time. Now there’s a 10% bump every few seconds but that’s it. Mine was so bad even the Windows Startup sound was crackling and stuttering!!

This is the category of “dumb stuff that shouldn’t break” and Windows gives you no warning it happened and no easy way to fix it (removing devices is still non-user friendly)
