Acer :: 3 Sets Of Same Type Of DVD Software With 5929 G
Oct 3, 2008
I recently purchased a new 5920G laptop and have been delighted with my purchase.
After becoming familiar with the 5920G's basic functions, I am trying to become more adventurous and I am thinking of burning some DVDs.
However, I am confused because the machine came with what appears (to my computer-illiterate eye) to be 3 sets of software to do the same functions - Acer Arcade Deluxe, Cyberlink Power Producer and NTI CD and DVD Maker.
Can someone more knowledgeable please tell me whether all these 3 programs are the same and ,if not, what the differences are?
Also which one would be best for a beginner like me to use for burning DVDs ?
I have Vista Home Premium SP1.

I have recently downloaded a BIOS update for the G580 - version 20150, and ever since that I am locked out of the BIOS setup menu. It asks for a password, however I haven't set up one, and such, I am unable to change any of the settings.
Changing the values there would be important, because the settings seem to be reset to a default state, for example, I am unable to start any 64bit virtual machines because hardware virtualization is disabled. I was running Qubes OS too, but I am also unable to boot off legacy (MBR partitioned) devices, which I do occasionally to test some new Linux distro when it comes out.
Apropos Linux: as soon as the system starts booting, the screen goes completely blank, and I have to keep pressing brightness-up to see if the system had started. Brightness controls also seem to behave strange under MS Windows too: on the lowest level instead of dimming (what it did before), the screen goes completely blank. The only good thing in this update is that bluetooth now seems to work more reliable under Linux.
Is there a way to remove the password lock from the BIOS and/or revert to the previous version to avoid the screen blanking issue? Would reverting the update also remove the password? If the password can't be removed, is there a safe way to change the settings from a running OS?

I have an Aspire 4720z that had a hard drive failure. I replaced the hard drive with a new Seagate and went to the Acer support pages. Since I was foolish and never followed the process to use the e portion to create recovery disks, I had to purchase the recovery disks from the Acer website. When I start the system disk, it goes through picking the language etc. and then tells me to insert the first recovery disk. I do this and it pops up a warning about making sure you do not have any external drives......make sure you want to do this as this will reformat the C:......etc. At this point I click next to go on and it pops up a Recovery32 Type Mismatch error and won't go any further to recover my system. Based on all the reading that I have been doing on this it would seem that there may be some HDD formatting issues that I need to resolve, but I am at a loss.

I am using an acer aspire e11 with Windows 8.1. The computer is used for home use and is not joined to a domain. I recentlly reset the device to factor default using Acer's Recovery Management utility. When the recovery was complete, I downloaded and installed all the applicable windows updates. I have one user account that is an administrative account and everything works just fine. I created a second user account as a standard user. When I sign in as this standard user, I get an error message that states: "The Group Policy Client service failed the sign-in. The universal unique identifier (UUID) type is not supported."

Lately I have been having problems with the touchpad this week, started with freezing sometimes, which I typed in google to see another have this problem and to switch setting of touchpad to no delays, which worked as freezing hasn't happened at all anymore at the moment....and later in week, having some difficulty when typing when I click to type in a certain place but then the blinker moves elsewhere, problems with copying and pasting sometimes, as when I copy to highlight upwards, the page did not come up immediately when I slowly moved the mouse up as you do, but when it finally went up, it highlighted the entire document. Doesn't happen all the time....

I bought a new 8935G and found that the card reader cannot read my 2GB H-Type xD card.
FDXGDFSGDFS
The camera I'm using it in does not show any problem.
GDFSGDFSG
I tried reinstalling reader driver.
GDSFGSF
I teste the reader with an old 16Mb xD card and this works.
FSGFSG
When I put the 2GB card in, Windows Vista says it has to be formatted; at this point the card is already unreadable in the camera and must be formatted againg there.
If I try to format on pc, the process stops at about 90% with an error.

I'm looking to buy a new Unibody MBP in the next couple of weeks and have been thinking about getting an SSD for it. I don't have a problem dropping one in there myself, but seeing as I'd have to take the drive out any time I wanted it serviced and Apple offers an SSD, I was curious if anybody on here got theirs from Apple and what brand the drive is so I can check out it's performance.

I have a client that's getting a 64gb SSD as part of his E6500. I advised him to go with aftermarket RAM and an X25m, but he wanted to stick with all Dell.

I would like to adapt one of these connectors to (preferably) a usb connector, or at least get a pin out of what each of these pins represent.
This is the webcame from an HP dv9000 laptop.
Some googling indicates it might be a jst connector?

I own an XPS M1530 with a WXGA+ screen. My wife has a Studio 15 with a WXGA TL (CCFL) screen.
Why does dust seem to stick to the screen much more and faster on the Studio than on my XPS?
we use both laptops on the same environment... has the screen type have something to do with this?

I indent to get a dell studio 1537, but the shop where I want to buy it doesn't specify which kind of display it has.
Also their tech support is to dumb to get the info from anywhere else except their own page. (they provided a link to the 1555 model to get the resolution from there... duh).
http://www.emag.ro/notebook_laptop/n...32WNHD345T3BRD
My questions are, what resolutions are in the 1537 ? I want one with 1440x900 so, is there the posibility to get a 1280x800 one ? or all the 1537 and ATI 3450 come with at least 1440x900 .....

I can't seem to confirm what type of VRAM the GT 330m in the Z11 is. All specs listings seem to be inconsistent!
If someone could point me to a screenshot using GPU-Z to verify, I'd be very appreciated!
Reason I ask is it seems the new Macbook Pro 15 inch models come with GDDR3, and I have a hunch that the z11 is just DDR3.

others have put 9800m GS into 15.4" laptops.
Is it greed? (more money for them) tricking the average person, who doesn't know much about computers? or seriously impossible... just wondering, b/c a macbook pro 15" with 9800M GS and 9400M hybrid power would really be one of the best notebooks out there. (considering the capability of running OS X and Windows and Linux (all legally of course)

I've got a XPS 15 (L511Z) which recently stopped charging the battery. It says plugged in but not charging when I hover the mouse over the battery icon. Luckily I've got an extended warranty and on contacting Dell they sent out a new charger. I plugged that in and the same result. In fact now when I boot the laptop it gives me an "The AC adapter plugged in cannot be determined" message.
Dell then asked me to buy a new battery since batteries are not covered in the warranty. Did that but still no luck. Am thinking that the original battery was ok to begin with anyway! Dell then asked me to update the BIOS but when I tried to with the update they gave me it failed, saying incompatible with the current hardware.
I then ran the DELL Support Center utility which identified another BIOS update which updated successfully but then I noticed that it changed the Product to L501X now. The charging issue still persists though.I've sent a response back to Dell but based on what I've been reading on the forums it looks like the motherboard would have to be replaced.

How do I get foreign characters from the Character Map using the ALT+... method? For example, the Character Map tells me that to get the small letter "a" with a tilde (ã), I should type "Keystroke: Alt+0227". How do I actually type this and get this numeric code?On older computers, I could access a 10-key numeric set of keys.

This problem actually popped up on me a few months ago, but I was able to remove and insert the power cord a few times and the message would go away and I would be able to charge my battery. But as a month or two passed, it became more finicky, and I had to jiggle with it a little more, but still, I was able to charge my battery and use my laptop wire-free.
Now today, I've been trying all day, and cannot for the life of me get the battery to charge. I get the following message when I plug the wire in.
"The AC power adapter type cannot be determined. Your system will operate slower and the battery will not charge. Please connect a Dell 65W AC adapter or higher for best system operation."
Also, I think its worth nothing that a lot of people mention that this error message comes up while they are booting their Laptops, mine only comes up once Vista is loaded and I attempt to reinsert the cord.
So, I have tried another Dell charger, a 90W one, and the same problem does occur (My original is a 65W). I am planning on getting a different battery tomorrow to see if it is the battery, as this ones usable life was getting quite low, down to barely a half hour per full charge. My warranty, although I'm not sure of the specifics, was not expired when this problem first came up, but is now expired by I would say 2 months at the most.
Oh, I have a M1330, and I have gotten a lot of use out of this laptop
