You have to insert the Windows 7 dvd. wait for everything to load then on main screen you have to click repair. Donot click install.

I have Balanced Power Plan selected for my PC , which has "Turn off Monitor" set to 1 Minute. This is Ok except for the time when i am studying from some PDF, i have to move the mouse [ or keep a video running at background ] to keep the monitor open.

Is there a Windows 7 Gadget which would enable me to quickly switch between Power Plans ?

Already got a sloution whcih i think is good enough

It could also be because of a virus infection.Scan with an AV.

tried everything. cpu usage is normal. win starter sucks big time.

^^cousin ka system

in mine another problem now with built in webcam(Acer 5542 laptop)
nothing seems to work eg:manycam, yawcam etc
Have installed all drivers and the Device Manager says "This device is working properly".
Webcam test just shows a black image and Chatroulette shows your webcam has no activity.
Acer's own Crystal eye webcam software doesnt seem to run.
It was working well until recently
