I have an ACER Aspire 5100-3583 and it had Vista on it - which ran great. However, my hard drive crashed so instead of reloading with Vista I put Windows 7 on it. I have a completely clean platform - just the OS on there. I went to run a game and it said I needed to "turn on hard drive accelerator" or upgrade my video card. So should I just download the upgrades for my video driver or will a new video card be needed to run Windows 7 on my laptop? Although it ran Vista perfectly fine...I just needed to upgrade from 120gb hard drive to 320gb (I like playing games and watching movies).|||You cannot upgrade/replace video cards on a laptop. Have you installed the video drivers? If not, goto the Acer support website and download the video drivers for your model. Some new games may not work on a few laptops. You can check where your laptop's falling short by checking this website.

If this game worked in Vista but does not work in Windows 7, try running it in compatibility mode. Google it to find out how to do so.|||Update your video card driver.
