    Hi there, everyone.
    Ive got quite of a problem.

    I despise standard explorer.exe shell, and had it replaced with blackbox (linux origins).
    Seems like sound volume shortcut (fn + uparrow/downarrow) was somewhat linked to explorer.exe and i can't make it work under blackbox or any other 3rd party shell. However, screen control (fn + left/right) works as good as it worked with explorer. And so - the question arises! How do I make my sound shortcut work, without inevitable help of explorer.exe?

    Also, is it normal for speakers to fvck up every song so hard, that i must play it with 60% volume max, cause of...dunno - overfilling?
    I dont care that sound is as flat as ____ , even when using equalizers.
    It seems that my cellphone (w910i) has a bigger speaker "capacity" than acer 5820 speakers. It it common? There is no one nearby to compare my notebook with ;<

    What else...top left corner of keyboard bends quite easily (2mm when pressing ESC key), ?

    Is there a possibility to manually control i5 processor boost(sum kind of app, or sth?), or am i doomed and windows 7 will decide if i need overclocking or not?

    Also, anyone tried if XP x32 works fine here? I have no time to try it by myself. Drivers seem very racist if it comes to windows 7... ;DDD

    Reflective case is a nightmare. Omg, someone pays them more to make a laptop with so many reflective things, or what? I cant get my display clean anymore, even if i wanted. Not to mention the case around it. Maaaan...the CLOTH they gave as a bonus is useless.

    ...Apart from that - everything works perfectly and i am as happy as i could possibly be. ;D

    Any help here?
