    I have just bought a 8920G from a friend who was selling it because he was moving abroad.
    He did a re-install of Vista Home premium and everything works except for the 4 lights & buttons on the right hand side, ( The ones for E-Mail, WWW. etc).
    They do not light up, and when pressed, (The buttons at the side of the lights), do not work either.
    Am I missing something simple or is it a fault.
    I should add that I had to download some of the drivers from the Acer site, and there is no recovery partition to restore from.

    You need to install Launch Manager.

    Did you get the version that matches your laptop?

    Yes I downloaded it from the Acer website after going through the options.
