Hi: Bought a nice and cheap Aspire 3680, but it has no DVD burner (maybe that was stupid of me). It has this backup feature that dynamically (and slowly) repartitions the hard drive to make room on the hidden backup partition. This is threatening to take over the hard drive. I need...

What does the "Acer Preload Security Patch for Windows XP" actually do. I've read the explanation and don't know what it means. I've disabled or uninstalled all of the Acer xManagers. I'd rather not patch something if I don't use it anyway. -- /Tazz

I was given an Acer computer that when XP is loaded on it displays with a 640 x 480 resolution in a 4bit video. Can't seem to get the video changed. I disabled the onboard video, but the PCi vid card I put in there, didn't seem to help. Any ideas?

Hi I am kind of a novice so here is my question: I wanted to install the bios-update Acer provides on her website (http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_1700.html) Strangely enough, in the text-file that is accompanying this BIOS-update (ZIP-package) they state that one should provide...

We bought an Acer Aspire 8920G recently. When we got it, one of the first things I did was pop in the sampler Blu-ray disc that came with the laptop and bask in the HD goodness. The other day, we made a trip to Hollywood Video and picked up a couple BD titles to enjoy. To my dismay, neither of...
