Lost everything on it. I need a set of restore disks to bring it back to life as the ones I made are not able to be read by the computer as they got scratched up and wont work for me. If anyone out there has a set they could burn for me I will pay you the cost of making them for me. Mine came with Vista Home Premium OS on it. I can't seem to get Acer to respond to getting me a set. fordpowerstroker @ verizon.net I have a 5610 -2273 Acer Aspire and recently had a bad drive crash. Lost everything on it.

I'm very happy with it, always worked fine. Agree it's not a gaming computer but anything else, it will run it with no problems. Also agree about the plastic keyboard, but up till today no problems whatsoever. Had the same problems with the orbicam in the beginning, but I downloaded different drivers from acer website and since that time it worked just fine. Maybe now this model is not in the market so much, but would definitely recommend it. Hi everyone,

Had trouble watching movies without it chopping up real bad. I could have upgraded to 2 gigs of memory for around 80 bucks. Instead, I installed LinuxMINT 4.0 on half of the hard drive for free and have never had a single problem. The VISTA experience was less than phenomenal but LINUX screams on this machine.

My mother bought that laptop, we even asked the guy from the store if it plays games and they said it's fine. But since we installed tried to play games,it restarts itself after around 1 hour of gaming. So if you want games, DON'T buy this because it can't even play them! Not just plays bad, it doesn't play.And btw, [quote]The left mouse button went ages ago[/quote] mine left mouse button broke too :S I can still press it but hardly. Hello there.

It just stopped working. I tried to re-install the drivers but nothing happened. I went out and got a wireless mouse, its working fine, but now it will only be able to be used on my desk or table. Anyone else have this problem or know what to do to fix it. Thanks I am having a problem with my mouse pad. It just stopped working. I tried to re-install the drivers but nothing happened.

I just upgraded to 2 BG for $$40 and got wireless broadband from sprint and I am as happy as a clam. I tweeked Vista for performance and got rid of extra software, and am pleased with its speed now. I wish it had a better video card for games, but great for working out of the house, also not so bad for a take along. I'm currently looking for a better battery.
