Acer Aspire, eh? Bought one two weeks ago and very impressed, apart from the dismal battery life which comes from it being a P4 3000. Mind you Acer do say that they class it as a desktop replacement rather than a full mobile. Interestingly enough, I did have Nero on mine for a short while, before dumping it and putting Roxio on it.
If I can assist in any way, just PM me. I think I gave Nero away but will check if needed.
Good luck!
