   I'm trying to find somewhere to download the drivers for my Cinedash Media Console, as well as Acer Arcade Delux. I just installed Windows 7 RC1 on my system, and I needed to wipe my drive to install it.
   Could you point me to somewhere where I could download these files?
   Thanks!

   if you burnt your recovery media, look in the DRV folder on the first disc your burned. aka System CD

   the applications should be in APP folder

   @showshifter:

   I've tried Launch Manager 3.0.01, 3.0.03 (strangely, listed on the support site as 3.0.04?) and 2.1.03. Unfortuntely, I've had no luck with the volume control with any of them. Everything else seems to work, just no volume control.

   NB: As a check, I have booted an image disk copy of my Vista system, made just before I upgraded, and confirmed it's not a hardware issue. Everything works fine under Vista, so it's definitely a case of needing new software for Windows 7.

   I see the touchpad driver specific for Windows 7 on the acer site. Install it. CineDash uses the same driver as the touchpad.
   Let us know the result.

   I'm using synaptics touchpad driver 14.0.0.3 (W7) - the latest as far as I can see. Volume control doesn't work properly. I can get it to 'track' towards max or min by touching the end points, but moving over the middle section merely changes the blue lights.

   Checked again that the Vista system using Synaptics Touchpad driver 10.2.4.1 and Launch Manager 2.0.05 works perfectly. Volume tracks the Cinedash 'slider' without error.

   Win 7, using Touchpad 14.0.0.3 and Launch Manager 3.0.01 only works if I touch the endpoints.

   It's now been 4 days since I reported it on the Acer customer help site and no-one has even replied yet. How many times do I have to update it before someone pays attention?

   If someone has an 8920G running Windows 7 with a fully working Cinedash, can you tell me what version of Touchpad and Launch Manager you are using and I'll try it on my system.

   Thanks.

   Hi there,

   I have the same problem.
   Here's my story:
   I bought my 8930G about a year ago.
   3 months ago i decided to install windows 7 on my lappy eventhough i knew not everything would be supported.

   My volume slider didnt work at first, but after just running my finger over it randomly it went into action.

   Then my motherboard crashed.
   I now have a new motherboard (which is suppost to be the same) but i am also unable to get my volume slider to work.

   It's 4 months ago, did you get an update or solution?
   Thanks!

   There is a recent (3/30/2010) BIOS update for the AS8930G that may be a good starting point in resolving this issue.

    In addition: The slider works better then before.

    Before the slider snapped to 0% volume when my finger reached about 30 to 40% of the slider.
    Now i can also slide the bar between these values.

    Launch Manager 3.0.02 released 9th March 2010 for the 8920G seems to work.
