Jean,

Thanks for the Acer tips.

I haven't been to see my brother or his Acer this week.

Next time I go there I will look at "Administrative Tools",
IF I can wrestle the computer out of his hands.     ;-)

I have noticed the Green Acer back-up tool applet on the screen.
and am aware where it puts the back-up data.

He has already made a couple of back-ups on the D:\ partition.

I have had the Acer here at home 2 times.   (so far).

The first time to get familiar with it Myself so I could help him if he
asked me.

I also found the Axer Users Guide .PDF file and put a copy of it on my
XP box here at home so I could refer to it.

The second time, he needed me to find out why he wasn't seeing any
graphics in IE 8, to find out why his Desktop Icons were missing,
and to turn off the Magnifier option that was coming on at startup and
staying on the screen all the time he used it.

For #1 I clicked on a setting in IE 8 Options to allow graphics in
Multi-media.

For #2 I figured out he had right-clicked on the Desktop,
selected View and removed the Check Mark from the Show Desktop option.

I had to scratch my head a little bit to figure out how to stop the
Maginifier from coming on.

I think I used the Accessibility menu item to get it turned off,
I really can't remember.

On that second time, I picked up the Acer on Sunday afternoon and
brought it back to him Tuesday Afternoon.

He was sure glad to get it back, he missed it very much Monday and early
Tuesday.

I think he was experiencing something like the DT's, but without the
Alcohol.   ;-)
