    Hi

    I'm not normally stupid :rolleyes: but, first day of my new Aspire 5685 I stuck in a pro duo - only to find that it doesn't fit. One pair of tweesers later, I stuck the pro duo in a pro adapter. This too doesn't fit.

    Am I missing something?

    What do I need to make it work.

    Thanks in advance

    Hmm, on the 8204 it just needs the adapter to work.

    What happens when you stick it into the adapter? It should fit in around where the SD slot is.

    trashcan ... you running Vista or XP??? Sounds like a driver issue possibly.

    There is a weblink somewhere for the Acer ftp site for the latest drivers etc.
