I like my Aspire 3680-2633, but it is often very slow. Cleaning up the temp files helps somewhat, but the main problem is Vista Home Basic, I think. I am thinking of cleaning off the drive and putting XP Pro on it. Anyone have experience with that? Pros? Cons? I am using it with its...

TravelMate 8100 with XP Pro. While backing up to an external drive I got a report of a single "CRC Error" during the process. This first occurred a couple of weeks ago and since then everything still appears to be running normally .. as far as I can tell. Is there a way to isolate the bad disk...

Ich benutze den ACER N35. Jetzt habe ich seit einige Tagen ein Problem. Ich habe schon 2 oder 3 Mails an ACER geschrieben, jetzt hat man mir eine Telefonnummer für 1,29?/Min gegeben. Vielleicht hat jemand von Euch eine Lösung für mich. Ich setze hier einmal die Original-Mail hier rein: Ich habe...

Just recently, i heard sound coming from the laptop. It sounds like there is a marble in my fan; kind of like the roulette. I suspect is the thermal module that's making that sound. In addition, my laptop gets really hot when i use a lot of CPU. I have consulted with a few friends of mine and they...

I've got an acer aspire 3680-2576 laptop that came with Vista and I'm installing XP Home SP2 on it. The wireless driver installs but windows reports "device cannot start, code 10." I tried all the wireless drivers listed for this computer on the acer site and this is the only one that installs....

All of a sudden my Active Synch refuses to work, I have tried all the various settings etc, even trie installing to a second computer, could it be the cable? Any ideas would be helpfull

Hi all, I just bought an Acer Asphire T671 in a Media World shop. I need the O.S. (Vista) in original (English) language for several reasons. I *cannot* use the Italian nationalized and badly translated version. While nowhere, out or in the box, there is a note it was nationalized, all the...

Does the bios Acer uses offer this option? I have been through this bios and haven't seen anything resembling voltage settings for memory. I am hoping I can run Crucial 6400 memory. I just ordered two gigs. Regards Mike RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!This guy is the real deal here folks.

We purchased 100 Acer Aspires and for the last 6 months have sporadic power issues on many of them (they just won't turn on at all in the morning, if you wait a while, they will turn on). We've reset the voltage in the back and it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. has anyone else heard of this...

Why would it take this long just to defrag about 40Gigs on drive C? Drive D (80 Gigs) takes so long that I just havent bothered. Seems that everything is a bit slow on this computer but I figured that is because it probably has a 5400 RPM drive to save power. Thanks ..

Spoke to one of HPs Road Warriors today. Helped him get set-up for some sales event on the road and what not. He (an reportedly his coworkers) are really happy with their brand new HP laptops. No surprise there, given every sales guy loves a new toy, but the when I asked about the OS, it wasn't...

Hi, does anyone know where in the UK that will let you purchase a power board for an Acer Aspire 3680 with a DC power jack and 2 USB ports? Also a price would be helpful too. My other half pulled out his cable and the socket came out too. We would definately not like to send the laptop away for...

Hi all, My new Aspire (well, fairly new) doesn't 'see' the DVD/CD Player. I have uninstalled software drivers and XP has reloaded them on reboot. It tells me that it is now recognised, but when I put a DVD in, nothing happens, and WMP tells me there is no disc present. I can't see a way to...

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...

Please could anyone tell me why an Aspire 9420's screen would not switch on when powered up? It was working yesterday and nothing has been done to the laptop since shutting down then? Cheers if anyone can answer this as do not have access to the manual at mo.

I am now using an external HD for all of my backup materials. I can do a System backup through Windeows Explorer but the Acer/Ghost built-in system will only recognize the split part (D:) of the internal drive or a CD/DVD drive. Is there a way to get my TravelMate 8100 and Norton to recognise...
