    G’day guys, just joined up. I’ve been reading a few of your posts to try and solve a little issue I’m having with my new notebook and this seems to be the right place.

    Last week I purchased an Acer Extensa 5620.G as follows;

    * Intel® Centrino® Duo Mobile Technology
    * Mobile Intel® PM965 Express Chipset
    * ATI Radeon HD 2400XT 512MB HyperMemory (256MB DDR2 VRAM)
    * 5-in-1 card reader (SD™, MMC, MS, MS PRO, xD)
    * Integrated Acer CrystalEye webcam supporting enhanced Acer PrimaLite™ technology
    * Intel® 802.11a/g/N tri-mode with SignalUp technology
    * Integrated Bluetooth® 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)
    * 1 x Modem port (56K ITU V.92 with PTT approval, Wake-on-Ring ready)
    * 4 x USB 2.0 ports
    * 1 x IEEE 1394 FireWire
    * 1 x DVI-D port
    * 1 x External display (VGA) port
    * 1 x S-Video/TV-out port
    * 1 x Type II PC Card slot + 1 x Express Card /54 slot
    * 1 x line-in jack, 1 x Microphone-in jack
    * 1 x Headphones/speaker/line-out jack
    * 8 Cell Li-ion battery - Up to 3.5 hours battery life
    OPERATING SYSTEM - Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium
    CPU - Intel® Core™2 Duo T8100 (2.1GHz, 3MB L2 cache, 800FSB),
    SCREEN - 15.4" WXGA CrystalBrite widescreen TFT
    MEMORY - 2GB DDR2-SDRAM 667MHz SODIMM
    HARD DRIVE - 250GB 5400RPM SATA hard drive
    OPTICAL DRIVE - DVD Super Multi drive (Dual Layer)

    Its been working fine and I have been fairly impressed so far, however the other night I installed my favourite Game, Rome Total War and have been having the following issues;

    1. After the notebook has been on for a few minutes the desk top icon or the quick launch icon for Rome don’t work, they only seem to start the game just after the computer is turned on.

    2. During game play, for no reason the screen minimizes itself bank to the desktop. Its not a battery issue as I always play with the power in. I thought it might be the bluetooth connection but it still happens with this turned off.

    Anyway I hoping you guys might be able to give be a little help.

    Cheers

    Paul from Australia.
