    WE HAVE SUCCESS :D:D

    I've been reading all sorts of websites and someone said to do this:

    "I think ur problem with display resulation, when you have try to logon with safe mode it willbe ok right?
    hold F8 key while booting ur PC and select " Enable VGA Mode" after getting windows you should decrease resulation from the dispaly properties menu,becoz your monitor doesnt support ur current display resulation".

    And it has worked :D I'm soo pleased.

    Thanks everyone for the help anyway!
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    Hi, I have just rec'd my Acer Windows 7 Upgrade kit with:
    Acer upgrade DVD and Windows 7 DVD.

    Instructions: Step 1 - Run Acer upgrade Dvd - to prepare for windows upgrade
    step 2 - insert windows 7 dvd and follow prompts,
    step 3 - insert Acer upgrade dvd - run Acer upgrade wizard again to install the required drivers & applications.

    It seems straightforward enough - but after reading above posts - don't want to have the same trouble.... has anyone else had same problems or is it straightford - not very techie - or shall I pay to get someone to do it for me?
    my laptop is Acer Aspire 5738Z

    Thanks in advance
