    Desktop Icons

    OK, mine are currently set at 22, but you should be able to get them smaller than that. I dont know if it's possible to set them at 0, but it's worth a try. Dont forget to alter the vertical space between them, ie make it smaller, so you can fit more in each column. If you right click on your...

    What would You do without computers!!?!?!?!

    Goodness, what a horrid thought! I'd probably get more work done.

    Riddle me this!

    I looked at this a couple of years ago, and it was more expensive to buy the parts, than to buy a similar computer ready built. Seemed a bit odd to me too.

    Indeed, though we didn't know that at the time ;) The fact that he had uninstalled all the Acer programs could also have effected it.

    Delete everything, because it was corrupted, re-install, it's working ok, leave as it is. What's wrong with that?

    pop ups

    Have you got an antivirus installed? If so, try doing a scan in safe mode. If not, there are a couple of places you can do an online scan, one of which is http://www.pandasoftware.co.uk/2007/06000-intro.htm (Sorry for the long link) Then, make sure you get an antivirus installed. :)

    I dont know enough about that to advise I'm afraid. I dont suppose the disc came with an uninstall option on? (Vain hope I know) If I have this problem, I unually just do it through add and remove programs, then do a search to find everything it missed, and just delete them.

    Well, if you really can't change the back up destination (!), and it's all working now, I say just leave it. Do you know if it is set to back up automatically though? As the errors may come back when it fills up 50mb...

    Have you got a D drive (CD/DVD)? Would it let you back up to a disc? Can you get into the program at all, or do you just get the errors? I can't believe it wouldn't give you the option of where to back up to. If you can't get the program to run, it could be a faulty installation disc. (I'm...

    You should be able to specify where to back up to. It may be that when you uninstalled the rest of the stuff, you lost something that this program needs, which could be why you are getting errors. If you want to keep it, try re-installing it.

    Desktop Icons

    You must have a lot of shortcuts! In theory, you could just resize the icon to 0. You would need to readjust the horizonal spacing between icons as well, to squish them up. Just go to control panel, display, appearance, advanced, and use the drop down box to change whatever you want.

    IPC 8170 switching on/screen problem

    I'm really confused. Is this a laptop?

    Try doing a search for eragent, acer, anything likely, on your computer, and manually deleting it. Some pre-installed programs can be very hard to get rid of. Just be glad they didn't put AOL on there, it came on mine, and took me days to find it all! In the meantime, go into running processes...

    It seems to be a backup application from Acer. I'd just uninstalled it if I were you. (If your laptop is new, it may have come pre-installed)
