I have had this tablet for less than one week. Under settings in windows 8.1 modern interface is a control slider for the screen brightness. it does not appear to do anything. I would like to be able to change screen brightness suit my needs, but I cannot make this work. Any ideas on what settings I need to change or maybe software I need to update? There is one Acer driver update which does not load properly and always says fail. I believe it has to do with screen settings. Could that be the problem?

    The brightness would be under power management. If the driver that won't load is for power management I would say yes. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the power management driver. If that doesn't work, I would do a Factory restore and see if that fixes the problem.
