When I play Spider solitaire on my Acer A1-830 tablet, the screen freezes often and the only way to continue is to shut off and restart. Help?

It sounds like you might need to uninstall and install the application again. For support questions like this I would recommend you visit our Acer Community website (community.acer.com) in the future. You can join discussions with product specialists and members just like you who are ready to guide you through the process of finding solutions to your issues.

I use my Acer primarily as an ebook reader, with occasional checks on the weather and the news. I haven't had problems with my Acer except for one ebook app, MoonReader. I suspect the problem with yours is the app and not the tablet. Try other apps and see if they give exactly the same problem. If they do then probably is the tablet but if they don't you have app issues.

Yes... there is a small switch on the side of the tablet that will freeze the screen and keep it from rotating. If you are having trouble with the screen not rotating try to switch the small switch to the other position and try it. I had problems with mine also till I finally figured out the freeze switch... Good luck.

Return it, I had the same problem with this tablet....turned it on once, set it up, let the battery run down, charged it overnight and then when I went to turn it back on it wouldn't turn on. I did notice that the little light that indicates charging next to the screen would turn green when I turned it on and if I were to turn it off it would turn red. This indicated to me that it was charging but something was wrong with the screen or a connection somewhere. I know it's frustrating but I would just return it and get a refund and purchase a different one! Good luck!!

Spider and Spiderette are listed in solitaire games. That is the only information that I found as I am not a solitaire player.

Im not sure.... I would say that my computer sometimes freezes even though it is less than 2 months old so I think playing games might have some issues.

Every once in awhile my tablet would freeze, but only after a significant amount of constant use. Does this person have alot of apps downloaded? There may be a virus or it also could be the internet signal. Can you tell me more about the specific of what its doing and the problem? I may be able to try to help. Cathleen Garcia

My tablet froze less than a year after I bought it. There is a reset hole. Try using a straight paper clip. Look for a very small hole and don, t push in too hard.

I had the same problem. I disabled the drag feature of the elan touchpad and then downloaded touchfreeze - freeware that seems to have fixed the problem.

I am running Widows 7, and purchased Civ 4 The Complete Edition. Other than an error message that comes up when the program first boots, which states something about a sound program on my machine being incorrect, the game runs perfectly. Also, I don't know what sound I'm supposed to get but it seems like all of the sound effects I might expect within the game are fine. I would advise to make sure your video card is of the correct capacity and that your computer has enough RAM. My computer is almost 7 years old so if yours is newer than that you should have no problem.

I've had this happen on other non-Acer computers and the only thing I can attribute it to is programs running in the background take an active blip for a second, thus causing the cursor to move/disappear. Then, I must shake the mouse, or tap the pad, to resume control of the cursor.

I received mine in the mail today and I was unable to get it to work. I haven't yet tried to troubleshoot the issue, but the screen jumps around quite a bit.

I am actually experiencing the same thing. I sent amazon customer service a message and I am waiting for a response. I think its a glitch in the tablet. I purchased 5 Tablets and only one of them is giving trouble.

I have the same problem as you. I checked the connections many times. The display is fine and also can't recognize that i am touching the screen. How can you solved the problem?

Are you talking about the Amazon Store App? If so currently the app isn't compatible with the Acer A200 running ICS. I have not tried sideloading the app.

There are no controls. You have to unplug and replug to start game if it hibernates.

Have you tried unplugging it? Sometimes my model freezes up and I have to unplug it and replug it.

The fact that it restarts and functions makes me think more of a memory problem then a power supply issue. Is the problem only while playing a movie or anything else, have you tried to open task manager and monitor your memory and CPU usage for when this happens? Good luck and hope it works out for you
