    Hey

    I just got an Acer Extensa 5420 for my birthday. Setup was great..running rather smoothly..got my wireless network set up..everything is going well...except for this weird process that keeps on running and has been running for about 2 hours or so.

    It's a blue "Acer" bar that has Process: 3/25 Display Source x86 Please Wait:

    Anyone experience this with their Acer? Is it something that'll eventually work itself out??

    Thanks for the input :)

    Mandi
