    So I've read a lot of good things about Vista 64bit. The only concern I have is compatibility issues.

    So does most Acer drivers/softwares work well with 64 bit visa?

    Im running 64 bit Vista on my 5920G having no problems at all.

    The only drivers i had a little difficulty finding were for the card reader, but i think they are on the Acer FTP somewhere if i remember correctly.

    Runs very smoothly. Only other problem i have had is with Codecs but the Vista Codec Package 64 bit version from http://shark007.testbox.dk/ works well for me.

    hey thanks for replying...
    So can you find all the drivers from Acer's website? Does Acer Arcade, Widcomm bluetooth, etc. work?

    Sorry for the late response if you still need the help, yes fuond all the drivers i needed directly from the Acer website, i think the only ones i needed were the Wireless (latest driver can be downloaded directly from Intel), Bluetooth and Card Reader, the latter of the two i remember grabbing them from the Acer website. Anything else was probably just from Windows Update.

    I have a 5920G with 4Gigs of Ram, everything else is the same before I upgraded (clean reformat and install) to Vista Business 64-bit.

    Now, my Crystal Eye, and Mic software won't load. I've tried loading the software from the Acer website, but it just doesn't seem to work (the device won't show up). Which driver and software version is the right one(s)?

    Also, I loaded the Acer eFrame first and then various eNet, eSettings, ePower, etc. but whenever it tried to load it failed. If others have gotten this to work can you suggest what I'm doing wrong?

    All suggestions are welcomed!! Thanks
