Acer Arcade Software is it possible to download?

Recommended Posts

I do hope it's okay to ask here as I'm really starting to hate Acer and I REALLY want to get this damn problem fixed. I am by no means a computer literate person, in fact, my dad bought this laptop for me some time ago and I have only just started using it while on exchange. All I know is, the operating system is technically Vista (how I loath it) but my sister's bf fixed it up so it looks somewhat like XP. The laptop is a Vista Aspire 4920.

What I have discovered recently is that the DVD drive does not register at all when I put a disk in (normally something would pop up like a window or options right?) When I go to my computer it simply lists the Acer (C drive) and Data (D drive). The same for device manager under disk drive. I asked my somewhat computer savvy sempai to have a look and he believes there is no driver installed. He tried to search the net to see if he could find a download (suitable for vista?) but couldn't get anything.

I have now asked my sister's bf for help but he is kind of busy and is back home so it's a little doing things from where I am now. He thinks the problem is as listed on this page:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us

"You upgrade a computer to Windows Vista or install Windows VistaService Pack 1 or you install or uninstall applications that have aCD/DVD filter driver. When you restart the computer, the CD drive orDVD drive no longer works as expected."

I followed instructions to remove the filters for DVD/CD from the registry but of course, having deleted them, I surely need to replace them? (But from where? How?) There was an upper filter entry but no lower filter...

I am left pretty much in the same fix and this time I have no idea what I should do. Thus I would like to beg some help off anyone who might know a solution.
