    Hi guys, i just installed ubuntu on my acer aspire 5740 dg 3d laptop and some drivers dosent seem to work. As you can see, i am dual booting but i had some problem saying there is some error with windows. Anyway, i could do without windows but as my pc is 3d compatible(wearing glasses), is there any drivers which could allow me to use my 3d screen again? I googled it but found no solutions, so i came here to seek help. And if anybody could figure out how to fix windows, i would love it more.

    Another problem is that before i changed to ubuntu, i seemed to cannot upgrade and seems to have something called rm not working or oned. i do not know what thats means but i cannot update nor upgrade to sp1. this trouble had been hauting me a while and i do not use my laptop often. So please help me out, i just wants to use windows and ubuntu comfortably on my laptop. Thank You.

    Specs:
    windows 7 home premium(not sp1)
    Intel core i5-430m 2.26ghz
    ati mobility radeon 5650 1gb ddr3
    4gb ram
    640gb 5400rpm hard drive
