    I got the Acer Extensa 4420 at my Best Buy for $500. When I got it, whenever you changed the volume, or pressed the Internet key, etc, it would show that in little green letters or green bars with the volume. Now none of that shows. I can lower and raise the volume, but the green volume bars don't show on the screen.

    Also, the top 4 Acer buttons like the E, Lock, Projector, ans Sync don't do anything when I press them. Before they did, but now they don't.

    Any ideas? I'm running Vista Home Premium with no problems.

    Thank you, it works now. Maybe I disabled it somehow on the list of programs that start when windows does I think. But now it works.

    One more thing. I have wireless in my house, but every time I boot up the Acer, it connects to a slower network with very little connectivity. How can I make it connect to my network and only mine every time?
