    Hi

    Firstly I was just wondering if anyone had been able to install a touch screen overlay into the 8930G yet? I've not found either instructions or kits for the 8930G, and the instructions for other Acer models don;t look as if they'll work (there's not much of a gap when you partially frove the front bezel, plus the front bezel itself does not seem to remove in the same way, as the hinges get in the way, and I'm not brave enough to apply more force). There are 19" widescreen general kits out, which may just fit, but will the front bezel be able to fit back in place (if it's possible the get it off)?

    Secondly, the old virtualization enabling question again. Using this Insude H20 sem-bios thing has really stopped peole, from being able to enable it in the same way as people have with Pheonix Bios's. As the option is not usually available in the BIOS to enable hardware virtualization, I was wonderign if anyone has had more luck than me at either finding some hack, or enabling some hidden menu somewhere? I;ve tried looking speciifcally for enabling it for the Acer 8930, and then for just enablign it in an Insude H2O bios, an still no luck.

    Thank you for any help anyone can give for either of these issues.
