    I cant turn on my vista now. This is ridiculous! Acer Arcade just keep on turning on forever. I pressed power button, it shuts down and turns back on with Acer Arcade again. Why the F*CK would someone program this so that there appears to be no way in getting back to vista. I was like fine, i will live with acer arcade in windows xp, but acer arcade is also full of **** bugs!! WTF??!!

    I am currently using another computer and unable to finish my report or check my stuff or do anything.

    I really need help on uninstalling acer arcade

    have you or can you get in to Ctrl+Alt+Del ?
    try starting in safe mode and stopping arcade in msconfig !
    just a thought,
    Phil :D
