Hi all, When I turn it on my notebook, it will only show the first screen with the Acer logo and the blue bar on the bottom, that bar will get to about 60% before the notebook shuts down. During this process the screen shows the option for Press F2 for setup. When I do that, the option is replaced with "Please Wait..." and will do nothing further. Nothing happens if I press Alt and F10 either....

I'm trying to connect my phone through USB to my computer but it wont install. The computer will recognize the device and ask if I would like to install and so I do. But it never installs properly. I already have the program installed and when I do a search on my phone it can't locate it. I just need some information on how to get it working.

Oh Thank you thank you. After reading here (I'm a new member) I see Im not alone. PROBLEM: I can't connect to more than two of my computers at a time. I have two XP and two Vista - it would be interesting if I had a third Xp to see if I can connect to three (xp) at a time . . . bet I could.
