i just bought an Acer Aspire 7551G with the radeon 5650, running windows 7 64. i've tried both the drivers available from acer, and the drivers available from amd, and with both, i cannot complete the windows system assessment to enable aero.

i've tried installing windows 7 32, and that was able to complete the assessment properly, but the system became unstable and would freeze randomly.

Has anyone encountered this and know what the problem is and how i can resolve it? i am very upset that this new laptop has this kind of problem.

i even tried the registry hack to enable aero manually, but when i try to switch to that in the personalize screen, the system freezes.

Contact the retailer. Random freezes during quite normal operation: could very well be a hardware problem, and then one can try as much user magic there is without solving the problem.

Maybe it is a known problem at the retailer, and then you can quickly get specific help.

Unfortunately the only solution I've gotten so far was from the manufacturer to restore to system default( factory ) settings & drivers. Any drivers I've tried have always been unstable, even the ones from the official Acer website.
