dont know.. i never used the McAfee security with this system.. i had 6 months left with Nortons 360.. from other computer and used that.. i bought my computer around june 29.. and have never had problems with it.. even when i left if on for 24 hours straight for downloading.. i use an HDMI cable to hook up this computer to my 32"HDTV.. and watch a lot of high def content... this computer is a pretty good home theater PC [HTPC]... on a side note you might qualify for free windows 7 .. i saw a article about it on cnet dot com.. go to cnet... click on News tab.. and search "free windows 7 upgrade".. you should find the article easy.. i havent gone through the process yet.. but our aspire X1700 should be eligible... acer dot com/windows7upgrade/ ... replace the "dot" with a "." and it should take you to the acer page.. if you cant find the link on cnet

Are you using Windows XP? If so there is a change you may not be aware of in the BIOS. Let me know and I'll send you the change.

Both previous answers are valid. Or you could try a Dell user group. Good luck.

I've had mine about a month and have had no such issue. I would try a different video cable and power cord, then call Asus support.

I had the XE700T1C-A02US and had some major issues with the screen - including strange artifacting, a "light shadow" along the entire outer frame of the screen, and a dark spot in the middle of the screen. Definitely exchange it. Amazon took mine back and didn't hassle me about it at all. :)

If you can only display on an external monitor, then I'd call it DOA. Send it back for a replacement.Acer or Amazon should have you set. Just make sure you register the Acer on their website if you plan to get a new one from them.

This is not normal operation. I would suggest contacting our support team so that they can help get this resolved for you. http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/service-contact

Sorry. I have not had the time to work with the Acer and don't anticipate doing anything with it in the near future.

HelloYou can contact Asus and they can help you with that, the number is listed on the warranty paper that was included with the package thank you.

The model probably needs to be sent to ASUS to be fixed. I had the same issue when i had bought mine brand new. Even after ASUS fixed it it has always been dead slow.

I had been grappling with this issue of the network card in the Aspire One dropping connectivity for quite some time. I finally called their support and they provided me the same solution i.e. to set the "power save mode" to off. I did this and the problem went away, but at a cost. Now the battery on the Aspire One lasts only about an hour, instead of the 5-6 hours that was touted by Acer. This is not a fix, but a backup plan with great downside. Acer should recall these devices and install a better network card or fix it's power save configuration, unless it wants to turn off customers for good. I plan to return my Acer bacause of this issue, otherwise it semed like a pretty good machine.

I had the same problem with my Acer Aspire. It looks like it works, but the system does not detect it. I tried all the slots (slot #1 should be used I think), but no luck.

First, I'd contact Amazon to see if you're inside the return window since they'll probably be faster in replacing it. Then, if you're outside that window, you can contact ASUS and submit an RMA request. Hope this helps!
