I cannot find where to ask for help, except to send a message to certain recipients. I just want to know first of all, how to send a post. And I want to ask how to get rid of "Pictures" this app of whatever it is that is screwing with my pics.

user 01 You might also want to move from "genral discussion" to the community help pages of Acer, if you have specific questions to ask, and not simply want to discuss computers. I ended up here by mistake. I can see the questions and even answer them buit I do not see how to post a question.

user 01 You might want to consdier whether the Microsoft community help centre is the place to ask whatever question it is you have. I know that what I have is a problem with Acer - the brand of computer I have. Micrsoft =cannot help me. this is an Acer problem.

I can't post - I have a problem I need fixed and I can't leave a message/ I have Acer computer with a thing called "Pictures" on the screen along with all the important stuff. It came with the computer and took over the ability of my camera to simply enable me to import my new pic to where I want them, in my documtnet.…

Thanks you so much. I do believe that has worked!

I am using only one disc drive now, the Acer AVC DVD-Super Multi drive, as it is described. And of course, it can burn discs, just not the kind I am using. So what kind can it burn, or does it just burn movies - a particular kind of file? You're right. I wouldn't want to send a file that can be altered by the reader, or…

I have no idea how or if I formatted the Lexar. I would have followed the directions to do so, if I had formatted it. I bought it 4 months ago - 64GB. I may have used it to copy the files off the old computer. I don't recall. I do recall it was slow. That was probably the problem. I may replace all the files with those on…

I don't know about the newer faster better DVD drives, but I do know this Lexar memory stick is slow to move files around. 

There was nothing wrong with that DVD-RW until I tried to re-burn it with data stored on the new computer (same data, new computer). I did it for several years, on the same DVDs. So, by coincidence (no), the DVD I tried to use quit working. It is now ruined. It was not the DVD that was the problem. It is ACER. Anyway, I…

Well first of all, I used a rewritable disc, to experiment, as you suggested. In fact, it had more data on it that I had from the old computer - files ending in .doc (not .xdoc). But I could add to the disc, more than likely, so I did that. I dragged one file over (also ending in .doc), and put it on the disc drive. And…

Jack It says on the sticker that it is an AXC-704 (not TC-704). I can't understand this. I read somewhere that it is capable of showing movies, which may be all this can do. I am also surprised that there is no proper summary of what is included. If that is the problem, I can either try to install this Retial Plus USB 2.0…

Something has happened. Not good though. I had taken the dvd out of the drive after I last spoke with you. So after seeing your latest msg I put it back in the drive. Immediately I got a notice informing me there was an error with the drive (perhaps removed dvd too soon and that I must run it through the scan to fix it. So…

This particular disk was blank. I had on it some of my files - my own data - things I had written. I need to update the disk so I deleted the contents, by inserting it into the compyter's disk drive. It then went through a process of reformatting, which seems to be a priority because I have now done it about 10 times in…

JackE I am unfamiliar with the way this one works. It is a new computer and came with Window 10. I am thinking there is no drive in this thing, for writing my data, though it did delete what was there and reformat the disk (I read a comment here somewhere that said there was no diskdrive in their computer so wondered if…
