    Hi.

    As I'm sure many of you are aware, on Acer Laptops pressing Fn+F5 switches between the Laptop display and the external monitor. However mine has recently stopped working.

    When at the Vista login screen the function works and continues to do so for around 7 seconds after login. I have tried disabling as many startup items as possible but with no improvement. I uninstalled my Microsoft Wireless Entertainment 7000 Keyboard - No Luck! I installed the original graphics driver that came with the notebook and re installed Acer launch manager (I even tried launch manager from another model). All to no avail.

    Please someone help me fix this problem. I switch between the two screens on a regular basis and it is becoming a real drag!

    Cheer guys!
