Hi,
Just for grins
Go to uninstall a program
On the top right next to the question mark symbol switch the page view to List
Then take a screen shot all your installed programs... should show up on one screen shot
You have to use the Go Advanced button instead of post quick reply to be able to see the paperclip symbol in the reply editor to search and upload files here.
uploaded the screenshots
Hi,
Well I'd watch out using Chrome seeing you have only 4gb's of ram installed it will soak it up fast and you won't have anything left to do anything else :)
At that screen shot moment you had 10 tabs open.
Im going nuts with this, this is my second day since i am breaking my heads on ithence this...hence the tabs
do I need a different driver here? if yes, which one? can you help me with it
You need the the most recent AMD driver from ACER. Not any other site. Only install the drivers for your system from the ACER site, as they are compatible with your GPU and motherboard.
If you already have the most recent drivers installed, try uninstalling them and reinstalling them again. With the drivers properly installed, the Device manager should show an AMD graphics adapter, not Standard VGA
