Hello to the Forum Members,

 

I am a newbie to this site, but I do have extensive knowledge of repairing PC's and Laptops, gained over 3 years working for an IT recycling company.  

 

I do have a problem with my Acer Aspire 5750, which started back in September when my laptop crashed and it has crashed again at the beginning of this month.  I have re-installed Windows 8 Pro, downloaded all the drivers needed to get it working, but now I have a problem that I can not figure out.  The problem is that the Caps Lock notification no longer appears on screen this time around.  I have read some of the posts relating to this problem and carried out the suggestions, but nothing has worked.  I have tried the Launch Managers for both Windows 7 and Windows 8 with no luck.

 

If anyone can help me I would be most grateful.

    It sounds as if you have installed a full retail copy of Windows 8 on the system, not performed an upgrade from Windows 7 which shipped with the system.

     

    Unfortunately, we do not support full retail versions installed on the system.  I can only suggest that the software is not installed for correctly making the on screen notifications appear.  To properly support this, it would need to be reloaded to Windows 7 and then upgraded to Windows 8, so that the previous software to control it is installed properly.
