I am not familiar with vista ...why not ask in the group if that same option would be available ...or else, boot pressing F8 repeatedly right through the boot from the very start before you see windows at all and see if that choice is there which, if shown, will not hurt anything... but, the group members are much, MUCH, smarter than myself ...good luck!

I mean, have you already tried exhaustive web searches to turn up the beep codes for Acers? Have you tried pulling all the USB devices/cards/RAM? You may prefer to take it to a local computer shop (e.g. Staples). On Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 8:47 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a (hardware) problem.?
