Quick question for those who wiped their 5920 when they first bought it. Got it on 'sale' at BB last night, and reinstalled Vista to get rid of all the bloatware. Downloaded all the drivers on Acer's site (I forgot about doing this at first, so I freaked for hours when the laptop was not recognizing the 8600m GT), including the webcam ones. But for whatever reason I can not seem to start it up. Checked Control Panel, and "Programs" in the start menu. Device Manager recognizes the webcam, so it IS there, but nothing to get it up and running. Any help on how to find and start it would be appreciated much, thanks.
I do feel stupid for asking though, but this is my first laptop, and first experience with Vista. Other than that, the 5920 has been great.

is it possible to use OEM key with consumer version Vista DVD -
i used the anytime upgrade disk to do a fresh install of vista but after looking for the drivers i just used the acer recovery disk cos i couldnt be bothered going through driver issues so i just uninstalled the bloatware instead
