Hi there, i had a problem with my Acer 4740G. I was not using the computer for a while, and then computer screen suddenly turned dark. I thought the computer went to sleep. However it does not respond to clicks, and key presses. The only solution is to force shutdown the machine using the power button. It happened 3 times, yesterday. I thought it might be some issue with Acer hardware going overheating etc.
However, today there is a new update for Windows 7. (27 Jan 2010) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977074 Reliability update. One of the fixes is; CODE On a computer that is running Windows 7, you configure the Screen Saver Settings to display the logon screen on resume. Additionally, you configure the computer to go to sleep. However, the computer may not go to sleep after the screen saver starts. Instead, a black screen is displayed. [B]This problem causes the operating system to stop responding[/B]. You must restart the computer by holding down the power button. Also, for those who likes to put a blank desktop (solid color) - like me, the logon will take 30 seconds due to a bug in Windows 7. There is an update for that too, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977346 CODE The Welcome screen may be displayed for 30 seconds during the logon process after you set a solid color as the desktop background in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2 This is however a hotfix and not distributed using Windows Update. You need to download is manually. Since i experienced both the above problems, i everyone update their laptop after purchasing, immediately  Cheers |

Anyone tried installing some games on 4740G? Im having problems nao. Avatar game was succesfully installed, guitar heroes succesfuly. Some games works on my desktop but hangs on my laptop during installation. Its not moving. First i thought it could be something due to my hardware. So i remove the extra 2GB of ram but it was uncessfull. Still takes a long time to load autoplay. So i put back the ram. And i did a scandisk for error. But there were no bad sectors. So i did a system check. Also no error. Has this gotta to do with SLIC? Cuz the other games were pirated. And i also wanted to change it to Win 7 Ultimate but it hang during copying files at 46%. 2 ~ 3 hours, it still stays there. So i called upon acer just now and they ask me to send my laptop there to check my hard disk. I told them that my hard disk is working perfectly. Scan for bad sectors and corrupted blah blah but its working fine. There is a BIOS upgrade which is 1.04. But i dont think thats the problem.

But when i use scandisk, no errors were found, no bad sectors. Ive done 6 recovery. All worked perfect. Why pirated software and games unable to install. Even when i try to burn some ISO files. Like the games that im trying to install, it fails.
