Thanks for the direction..... The wireless card wasn't set to wake the laptop from sleep, but my usb trackball was.... I disabled the ability to wake the laptop by the trackball, and the poor laptop had a decent night sleep! Although...

Hi, I'm running an Aw 5550 and Vista Home Premium. Everything is working as it should, except when it's time to sleep. Laptop goes into vista "sleep" mode, and then sleep LED flashes, hd's spin down etc. At some point...

Slightly off-topic, but i've been playing BioShock on my Aw5550 (2ghz c2d, nvidia 7600), and after a bit off tweaking with the settings, it's running a steady 25fps at 1280x768. The only real sacrifice i had to make is turning off the...

I would say that Vista is great for the majority of people if you have a reasonably up to date system. I used it on an Acer 8104 with 1gb of ram, a single core 2ghz cpu and 128mb ATI x700 gfx card. Everything worked well (except for a...

Well, looks like this will never be fixed now by acer or 02micro I have solved the problem myself though, by voting with my feet and buying a nice new Alienware 5550 laptop. Much better build quality, and the 1920x1200 screen is just...

Well, i think i have solved the problem (on my system at least). I downloaded the 162.22 nvidia drivers from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers/vista today, installed them and re-tested. I've been playing half-life2 ep 1 on high...

Yep, tried all the power settings in vista (as i thought it was a cpu throttling issue too) nothing changes. I even downloaded Notebook Hardware Control to force the cpu settings (and monitor the cpu speed and voltage), and again no...

I received my Alienware 5550 yesterday. 2.0ghz CPU, 2gb Mem, Geforce Go 7600 256mb, 100gb 7200rpm HD, 1920x1200 screen. I was really impressed and happy with it until i actually tried to play a game on it, and ran into the exact same...

I have the same problems with the pcmcia slot on my tm8104. Three devices, and one with a yellow bang. Also there is an unknown base system device with a yellow bang too. The latest acer vista drivers do not work. Also, other vista...
