    Hey there, i have bought myself the aspire 6920G, and i have two questions.

    First: I would like to update my Nvidea Geforce 9500M GS driver, i went to the site, downloa section. I found quite a list of files, but i don't know wich file i should download. Can someone help me?

    Secondly i'd like to know if it's possible to link the gemstone control to windows media player. Atm it opens Windows media center, but i think it's not very good to listen to music while gaming. Any ideas?

    Tnx!

    mine open windows media player if I press play. For your update, it depends of your vista version:
    VGA_nVidia_8PGS_8ESE_v7.15.11.7451_Vistax32.zip
    VGA_nVidia_8PGS_8ESE_v7.15.11.7451_Vistax64.zip
    VGA_nVidia_9PGS_9PGE2_9EGE_v7.15.11.7561_Vistax32.zip

    I think you just need to choose between the 2 last, but it they don't work try the first one. Also, look at laptopvideo2go.com, they have more recent driver, but you need to search.

    Welcome to the forums, sisionis!
    Versions 174.51 and 175.61 are available for download from Acer's official FTP here, while 176.37 can be downloaded as an advance release at LaptopVideo2Go.com here.

    As for getting the media control keys to be linked to WMP, they can be easily. Hitting Play will open WMP, at which point you can use the full thing for it.

    Blu-ray support is lost for 176.37 though, stick with the 175.61 version - you really won't find a difference in performance.

    I actually found 175.61 to be a better performer than 176.37 - stick with it.

    1) try to use this video driver link (version 177.98, 32-bit) or this link (version 177.98, 64-bit)

    2) try to install Synaptics drivers. You can find them here: link
