    Acer Aspire 5920g


    Hi
    Is it just my notebook or do 5920g's not like windows 7? I cannot get my media keys on the right hand side to work even though they are enabled in the synaptics settings. Also I cannot get Acer empowering technology to work. Can anyone help me with this? I am not a complete computer noob but I am beat with this. I have updated all the drivers several times and even tried 6920 drivers to no avail, Everthing worked fine with Vista.

    No I didn't get any Acer discs and I upgraded without creating backup discs. Silly I know but I forgot.
    No I haven't flashed the Bios I'm kind of scared to do it incase it doesn't work and kills my notebook. Although I do have Currys whatever happens cover I'm not sure they'd cover human error

    You can go to the mfr support site and get the drivers you need for the function keys. Just make sure they are the correct version (32bit or 64bit) and are at least vista drivers

    Let me know if you cant find them

    Acer don't list a driver for the media keys they are part of the synaptics touchpad system and the empowering technology drivers install but it won't run on Windows 7. I took some screenshots if that helps

    You don't need Acer empowering technology it's bloatware everything will work without it.
    Don't know about the media keys but i would be trying Synaptic before i contacted Acer, they might not have a win 7 compatible driver.

    Think I might have it. what driver did you install for the touch pad? was it a win 7 driver, or vista. If vista it needs to be installed in compatibility mode. to do that you need to right clicki?properties>cmpatibilty tab set to vista
