    On my Acer 5920G with Windows 7 I noticed that after I downloaded the latest version of Acer Arcade Deluxe that the red light on he right hand side of the computer is on. It's the record button on the media button area.

    Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it?

    Hi, it is correct that the light is illuminated, it isn't for recording as on mine it opens the NTI CD/DVD-Maker...

    I downloaded the latest version of the synpotics drivers (touch pad) and this is the reason for it. But when I had vista the red light wasn't on and the buttons worked but now they don't work even when the media keys are enabled.
