Can I still ask for the Product key from Acer. I can give them the serial number of my Acer AspireOne netbook.
I can’t access all of the Microsoft Office programs. Any help??? please…. I don’t want to buy a new installer of Microsoft Office.

Not very pleased with mine. It was cheap, but seems to be just that. Slow. Can’t type normally, have to be slow and careful or it jumps all over the place. When I close it, I come back to multiple windows open, which hangs the system until I reboot. Not sure what’s up with it, but for a new machine it’s not very impressive. Once my old Dell is repaired, I’ll go back to it.

If some of you people got concerned and alarmed about your wireless security after tony’s BS, don’t be tony is just a n00b script kiddo with oddly long antennas on his little toyish netbook. He is full of crap.
You can “hack ANY WAP2 network in under 45 seconds”? Really tony?

First of all tony it is WPA2, W-P-A, not WAP. Secondly, you are bruteforcing a password (potentially 64 characters long for WPA2 PSK) on an underpowered Atom-based netbook? Even if the password is 1 letter you won’t be done in 45 seconds. Normally passwords are by far more complicated (unless people are stupid), so you better write your will now, cause by the time you crack a 64 characters long password on this thingy you will be long gone from this planet. lol

ps my only complaint with it is to swap the wifi card and ram you have to completely dismantle it.. the designers should of made access ports so these items could be easily swapped out.. and i am not a fan of the touck pad.. so im using a bluetooth 5 button full size MS gaming mouse and have disabled the touchpad with the Fn F7 because its so dang sensitive

i bought my aspireone from a pawnshop for 160$$ canadian.. it came with 1Gb ram and a 120 GB harddrive.. the Artheros 5005 wireless adapter was not to my liking because it cant capture and inject packets with Cain and Able.. i initially restored it to factory settings.. (xp-home) but im a fan of xp-pro.. so it didnt take me long to install pro.. i found all the needed drivers on the acer website and had no problems with the install.. i partitioned the 120 gb HD into 3 segments.. one for XP-PRO one for RedHat Linux and the 3rd for BackTrak Linux.. yup i said BACKTRACK the best wifi hacking tool set out there.. i upgraded the artheros 5005 to the 5007 so i could capture and inject packets.. and now i can hack any WAP2 network in under 45 seconds.. so im always connected. i have about 3k songs on this lil netbook and about 40 movies.. i use this wicked tool as my main computer since im rarely at home.. its also my primary downloader now.. and the speeds i can hit surpass my home desktop pc’s wireless state by a huge margin.. i regularly hit 1.8MBs down and 850KBs up.
i have installed a few games also.. WOW DDO and a few others(CoD4 was a lil to choppy so i xnd it maybe with a full 1.5 GB of ddr it will make a difference??).. everything runs fast and smooth once the vid settings have been tweaked in the games UI..

for $160 i got the netbook, a rapid charger, and 2 batteries (standard 3 cell and a 6 cell) so im good for over 10 hours of gaming anywhere i want to be..
i also use it to check and secure friends wireless networks.. and to actively hack back into the unwanted guests.

my next mods i will make to it will be maxing the RAM to 1.5 GB and to mod the wifi antennas to full range reverse sms external antennas ( gonna mount 1 per side) with 75db gain antennas it might look a lil odd to the average observer.. but those in the know that see the BACKTRACK desktop will undoubtedly cream in their pants knowing im able to hack a WAP2 from over 500 meters away.
i run a full xp-pro for general use and FF to browse.. divx plays wicked, itunes is a dream on this lil guy and syncing on the go is just awesome.. and if i cant find any usable wifi.. i tether my iphone and im surfing.

prior to buying the AspireOne i was using a ASUS A6000.. but that things so dam bulky, heavy and power hungry.. its not perma connected to my tv as a media center.. and my lil AA1 is with me where ever i go.

Thanks for the tip, Stoney.

Installing FlashFire has finally made my daughter’s Aspire One ZG5 usable. Without FF, the performance of the SSD was totally unacceptable.

The freeware program flashfire also gives it a huge boost in speed.
At first xp home took like 10-15 secs to even show the desktop after clicking my login, after that it was around 5 secs.

Really worth a try, it was a huge speedboost here.
