Has anyone come across this problem with the Aspire 5102 please? Nothing works, no mouse, no keyboard either on POST or in Windows. Neither internal nor USB. It goes into Windows, loads drivers and programs (unbelievably slowly) but does nothing else and has to be closed off with the power...

Hi, I recently bought the Acer Aspire M3610 dekstop PC, Intel Core 2 Quad, 2GB RAM, and Windows Vista Home Premium preloaded. But after almost 2 weeks of use, I'm growing more and more frustrated with Vista. It seems every day new problems pop up. I was wondering if installing Windows XP on...

Since installing Win2K on my Aspire 1350, I have been unable to successfully burn CDs, though the DVD player works fine, and I can read regular CDs. Nero doesn't recognise the drive at all, and the NTI burning program that came with it claims to 'successfully' burn CDs, although they don't work in...

Strange behaviour - I have already replaced the external power adaptor as I initially thought that was failing. Symptoms include: 1. Operating laptop on power, with battery inserted - after a while, it will revert to battery power. Won't recognise when the external power plug is inserted, so...
