Hi Any one had any problems with the internal modem on a Acer 1310 laptop? I've got a Aspire 1315LM which is just a 1310 but with a built in DVDR writer. Every few times when I connect to the internet upon disconnecting the internet the whole computer just hangs. The system apart from that is...

I've given up on Acer support (and I thought Asus and Abit were bad) after a month of wasted with meaningless and very occasional responses from them and in the hope that someone in this NG here can help. A month ago I tried to upgrade the memory on a friend's Acer Aspire T180 Desktop from the...

I need a newer Vista Home Premium than what came on my Acer 5610-2273 laptop. The early non-SP1 copy gave me trouble from day 1. See Acer's response to my problem (below), bad English and all. I wonder if Windows 7 will have drivers for this laptop? How can I find out,...

I have Windows 7 running on my Acer Travelmate 2203LCI laptop. It runs fine. But I need a Windows 7 video driver. The Microsoft generic driver hurts performance and prevents the external monitor from being available as an extended monitor. Acer support ignores my pleas. I wonder who makes...

Acer Aspire 5100 restore problems I'm having a devil of a time getting the CD restore set I purchased from Acer to work. Trying to contact Acer Support is worse than talking to a wall (talking to a wall at lease you get an echo). No matter what tricks I try I get an error message: 0xa000000e
