Aspire R5-571T has no stylus driver for active aspire stylus

mesudeku

I was reccomended somewhere in the community about the Acer Aspire Active stylus should work with the Aspire R5-571T (or R15). Everything downloaded properly, but when attempting to download the Setup Wizard for the driver that claims to work with devices with Windows 10 pre-installed (which, in my opinion should include the R15 considering the Aspire 13 as well as Switch 10 + 11 are compatible) it simply would prompt me to uninstall it as soon as the content was downloaded onto my computer. My only other option was to cancel, which would prompt an error message. 

My next step was to attempt to use Setup.exe file which prompted me to code the driver myself...?

 

Is there anything that I can do about this? Whether it be copying and editing the code to work on this system, or just.. anything?

 

Because I'm pretty upset considering it's 1080, it's brightness measures at 310 nits, and it apparently can display 109 percent of the sRGB spectrum, and the whole reason I bought this laptop is because I was told it would be perfect for art (I'm a student). 

 

Any advice is appreciated

I can't help you much as I know very little about this.

I found a few things. A thread here:

A guy here says it doesn't have an active digitizer. I don't know if he's blowing smoke.

I MADE AN ACCOUNT TO RESPOND AND SAVE EVERYONE THE TROUBLE AND HEARTACHE I THAT I WENT THROUGH IN ORDER TO FIND A STYLUS THAT WORKS!

 

I have tried capacitative stylus (dollar store one, Meko from Amazon, Amazon's own stylus) and active stylus (Acer's own active stylus, dell active stylus, Bamboo from BestBuy, Navitech from Amazon). All of this have failed but one. Most if they worked at all, would skip lines and create a row of dots when attempting to draw a straight line.

 

The one that works is Amazon's own capacitive stylus (squishy rubber at the end). Interestingly, it is a capacitative one that I tried at the beginning before buying and returning all the other ones. Due to frustration I decided to just angrily write on my laptop after all those pens failed and it worked.

 

You have to use more pressure than expected and be at a 90 degree angle. I can successfully draw and take notes this way!

 

My model is R5-571T 57Z0 (Acer Aspire 15.6 in 2-in-1 laptop)

 

Hope this helps!

I was told when I bought my computer that it work with a Stylus.  I contacted Acer and they basically said good luck we do not support our product...go fishing.  Who at Acer can I complain to and get an answer????
