Does anyone have the problem whereby the "Show window contents when dragging" keeps getting reset to off after a reboot on Catalyst 11.2?
-
Edit:
The driver has the Intel version 2125 and seems to work. -

Any chance to can dig up the latest version of Acer's ePower Management? -
Since I had to reinstall Windows, I took my time to update my old driver page as I searched for new drivers and post them here for whoever needs it
===AHCI===
Intel RST v10.1.0.1008 [TESTED] - Updated 15/12/2010
===Audio===
Realtek HD Audio R2.58 [TESTED] - Updated 2/3/2011
===Bluetooth===
Atheros Bluetooth v7.2.0.60 [TESTED - thanks ChasePack] - Updated 11/3/2011
Broadcom Bluetooth v6.4.0.1601 [TESTED] - Checked 28/3/2011
Note 1: An old version of the Bluetooth driver must already be installed. The official driver from Acer works fine for this purpose.
Note 2: Bluetooth must be turned on during the installation. An error might occur during install and refuses to install anything. To install the drivers manually: Do not close the Bluetooth installer. Wait for it to fail, then when it leaves you at the page with 4 progress bars and says that installation failed, leave it there.
Go to C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Local\Temp\BluetoothBTW and copy the whole folder to desktop. Next open Device Manager, right click>update driver software for all Bluetooth devices except "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator" and navigate to the folder you copied and check "include subdirectories". Wait for the drivers to install and you are done. You can close the installer after this.

Sorry if I did not credit any sources, please PM me and I will include you for the driver -
Regarding the unofficial Ati-Driver + WatermarkRemover
I'm a bit cautious when it comes to drivers.
Why is there a watermark when you install this driver?
I have a bad feeling about this WatermarkRemover: As written in readme the user.dll will be touched....
Can someone ease my bad feeling with fundamental knowledge ;-)
[Edit:] A screenshot of the Watermark would be nice. -
-
-
-
"Windows 7
Test Mode (not sure if it says mode or something else)
Build 7600" -
If somebody would sign this driver... the whole WatermarkRemover would be obsolete. (Anybody here in this forum with a signing tool?) -
-
have a look at the MS pages. It is allowed to create a personal certifacte for the own workstation and it is only trusted there (no money).
With this certificate everybody can signing the modded driver for himself/herself and doesn't need the watermark remover.
I will have a look at my NAS for the howto files. -
-
My last understanding was, you can do all the same things as with a commercial certificate for testing with a private certificate on your own machine, but you are not allowed to publish software with the private certificate.
But as mention about read the license file!
Edit:
"Kernel-Mode Code Signing Walkthrough"
A step by step guide. I used it a few times and it works without problems. -
Also, is anybody having trouble with Scrybe? I can't get it to work on my 3820. Wondering if it's even worth the trouble. -
I have never had that tool installed and I get 5.5 W while eBook reading (with wireless off). 5.5 W means 11 hours on the 6 cell.)) OK, its an extreme case, where you cannot do anything useful but still, an amazing thing.
-
So... new ticked opened.
In short i wrote them, that we need a hybrid-driver which contains a newer intel-driver.
*crossing fingers* -
-
Just deinstalled ePower and battery-usage dropped instantly from 12W to 6W!
Thanks a lot!

1. How to Install and Load a Test-Signed Driver Package
- Require you to set bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING ON
- Not good for some people cause it mean, the OS will load ANY driver so as long as it is signed (even by self-signed or unknown CA)
2. How to Install and Load a Release-Signed Driver Package
- Require Code Signing certificate obtained by valid CA (mean $)
Sorry if I got it wrong, I only spend a few minutes looking at the long documents. Appreciate your help to correct me. -
I will have a look at it, but I have first to do some other stuff. -

you are right. -
I posted back that the Intel X25-M 120GB was on sale for $189.99, but wondering if it's worth the extra $20 for a vertex 2 120GB on sale for $209.99.
I've hear dthe vertex 2 is one of the top SSD's for the buck, any takers? -
-
-
can someone tell me, what are the advantages other than load times of a ssd ?
silence ? no heat ? better battery life ? just how much better ? 30 mins ? 1 hour ? the lappy totally silent in idle ?
thanks -
-
So with ePower Management not installed is there any other use for the P button on the TimelineX's?
Is the P button programmable through 3rd party software? -
Hey,
I have signed the driver with a private certificate, it has not been tested.
- Unrar the file and execute cert_for_ATI_Switch_driver\Cert.bat with Adminrights. (Certificate import)
- Install the driver inside the archiv (only this one will work!)
- Give a feedback in this thread

*Edit* Actually, looking more into the intel 3rd gen, looks like it's still designed for 3Gb/s and meant to be cheaper than the 2nd gen -

I've got the OCZ Vertex 2 SSD and I'm very happy with it. Very fast. Reboots take like less than 30 seconds from shutdown to restart. Login from the windows screen is nearly instant. Games run much faster too because theHD doesn't act as a bottleneck when reading graphics textures and such. Love it.

Has anyone successfully put in an aftermarket LCD in their 3820TG? I ask because lot's of new 13.3" laptops are coming out with nice screens like the Samsung 9 series and the Sony SA has a 13" 1600x900 LCD.
-
-
Just take the cheaper one. The most performance-increase a SSD will give you in comparison to a HDD is, that data can be read parallel (high random rates).
The difference between SSDs is not noticeable in daily use.
[Edit:]
Can't promisse if I have time today.
PS: Rep+1

[Edit2:]
Just got an answer for my second ticket:
-
you can do it via rdp ....
1. apply the concurrent remote desktop patch (check "enable multiple logon per user") -> Windows 7 RTM concurrent remote desktop patch - The Green Button
2. create a connection (*.rdp file) to 127.0.0.2 and save it i.e. on desktop
3. open the *.rdp file in notepad and edit the resolution
Code:screen mode id:i:1 desktopwidth:i:1600 desktopheight:i:900
Code:smart sizing:i:1 compression:i:1
5. press ctrl+alt+pause for fullscreen -

For the SSD questions: I really love the Vertex 2 both in the Acer and in my desktop. If you get a good deal on the Vertex 2, then get it. Its faster then the Intel G2. My boot takes exactly 20 seconds. -
-
-
Hopefully the next gen, being released soon, doesn't have much more than the g2. -
microsoft disables a connection to 127.0.0.1 (maybe because its an ugly hack)
