1227652 2011-09-06 10:17:00 Hey cheers for these links, bit hard to know where to look sometimes when you work by yourself and not enough time to look :) If the reinstall with acer doesn't work will try 1 of these turtle63 (9378)
1227653 2011-09-06 11:02:00 Before you reinstall with the standard W7 ( if needed) make sure you do a image/Backup to an external drive of the factory install. That way if for what ever reason you need to put it back you can.

The reason for that is if I read the post correctly ( "image on disc ") meaning a recovery partition, sometimes putting back a non factory install can have a weird effect on running the recovery partition if required - weird as in doesn't work.
bit hard to know where to look sometimes when you work by yourself and not enough time to look Know that feeling, but this weeks a bit :sleep work wise.

1227656 2011-09-06 11:12:00 Was Nortons on it, when I checked? Cant remember seeing it. I would use the Norton removal tool, remove the rest of it. Well at least its working now! Speedy Gonzales (78)
1227657 2011-09-06 11:14:00 NO it wasn't, i had already removed it and then put Avast on dont like Norton's, have had to many issues with it... Yes at least its working :) turtle63 (9378)
