I have just bought an Aspire One AO533-13509; and I am having a bit of trouble in using the keyboard. Since it’s a bilingual machine, there are symbols in green for the French version. But when I was trying to use the @ symbol; it won’t show the @, instead it print something else!!! In order to get the symbol @, I have to use the “Alt” key.

Would someone please tell me how to make use of these keys on the bilingual machine? In fact I did try to change it to US-English (or Canadian-English), but it did not stick! LOL.

Thanks.

The light on my model stays on and is orange, no blinking, when charging. Red means the battery is totally drained. I’m pretty sure it’s your battery, because the charger would either work or it wouldn’t work, I don’t think it can cause any of these blinking messages.

Since I uninstalled all the bad programs already, I cannot make a list, sorry. There is only one program which would degrade functionality, and that is what enables the WiFi LED to work and it shows when you press Fn keys on the screen (like volume on a TV). But everything else is junk.

Can you advise or give your opinion as to which programs/files might be removed (from the base o/s or otherwise standard configuration) for optimal performance?

Specifically, programs that won’t degrade the netbook’s functionality?

Just your list of them then?

Thanks for your thoughts.

They’re totally watchable if it’s not above DVD quality. Watching high quality videos through flash is unwatchable however.

THanks,
