I bought a new Acer with Windows 7. A scan pop-up says I need Framework 2. I have Framework 3.5.1, but it doesn't show up in programs. In Windows features it's on and off.

When I try to download version 2 it says it's already installed.

What can I do?

Cheryl,which program is asking for .Net Framework 2?Windows 7 is shipped with .Net Framework 3.5.1, which contains previous versions of .Net Framework, including 2.0. The problem you see arises if you're using tools that were released before .Net Framework 3.5.1 and thus specifically request version 2.0.You could try to update the software or hardware drivers.Please let us know if you need further assistance.
