    Lost DeskTop Format with ICS upgrade

    I used to have a real Desk Top format for Yahoo Mail. Hotmail, and Goggle Mail before the ICS upgrade. Now, I am unable to view these mail clients in Desk Top mode. Perhaps I am missing how to do it. Any help\suggestions would be welcome.

    3.2 Invalid Update

    Tried downloading the 3.2 upgrade again, and made it a point to have the Acer fully charged, connected to the charger, and in close proximity to the wireless router. The download was successful, and the file unzipped ok and the installation proceeded smoothly as expected.

    Playing Power Point files via the HDMI port to a projector

    I have a friend who gives many Power Point presentations to small groups. It is done by using a laptop connected to the HDMI input of a projector.

    No Keyboad on Hotmail

    Recently I tried to forward a Hotmail email and discovered that the keyboard would not pop up. Is this just me, or is it some kind of Hotmail or Honeycomb glitch? Is there any way to force the keyboard to appear?

    This may sound silly, but, I am trying to enter a colon in a URL, and I can't find it on the keyboard. However, the colon is available on the keyboard if you are typing text in the body of the message.

    My friends tab successfully got the update to 4.010.11_COM_GEN2. But now we have a new problem. It thinks it is the latest update. She never gets notified that update 4.010.13_COM_GEN2 is available. How can I manually update it to 4.010.13_COM_GEN2 ?

    Stuck on Acer_A500_1.145.09_COM_GEN1

    Just a quick note to say thanks for the help. The 'soft' reset worked for my friend. I have also heard of cases where the 'soft' reset needs to be tried more than once. As a last resort, you could try a 'hard' reset.

    Thanks for the tip. I should have thought about the soft reset myself. We will give it a try tomorrow when I see her.
