The following is a rant I wrote shortly after I got my new laptop. In it I ramble on about how horrible an experience my new laptop is both due to Acer and Microsoft being just silly. I feel bad that I spent money towards this crap, but unfortunately in the laptop realm I really had no choice.
If it were a desktop I could have built one for the same price or cheaper then any retail offering. Laptops are a different breed. If I were to build one it would cost me twice as much due to the fact that white box laptops are so rare even today. For Christmas my gift was a new laptop. After a bit of shopping we decided on an Acer Aspire My time there was not as bad as I thought it would be but a sales associate could have come seen me earlier then the 15 minutes it took.
Soon I was unpacking it and getting it ready. With this laptop I received only a quick start card. To begin it turns out it just needs to be plugged in. I fired it up. It took a minute or two to get running. Next, next, next, yup and next.
Something like that. This computer is so loaded down with crap that it honestly takes several minutes to load completely into windows vista home. Not only is there a handy dandy program for every piece of hardware that comes with the computer but there are nice things like the yahoo toolbar, a ninety day free trial of norton internet security, and easy access to the internet to buy more stuff.
Did you know you can upgrade your vista experience straight from the computer. And the geeks rejoice. Unfortunately there is no love with the wireless or the sound. There are methods out there to get these to work apparently but these are not integrated with this version of Ubuntu.
Looks like Linux might wait on the sideburner. There went three hours of my life. Kudos for using Nullsoft Install System.
This uninstalled in seconds. Acer eDataSecurity Management Apparently a program that will encrypt data for you on your laptop. Another that uses Nullsoft.
Acer GridVista? Apparently it gives you some extra options in setting and orginizing your windows? At this point I rebooted. Gridvista asked for it and Windows Vista wanted me to anyway because of 14 critical updates that it had automatically downloaded. Adobe Reader 8. Adobe wants a restart but I told it later. While the former was fairly easy to get rid of, the later will need to be hunted down and manually uninstalled. Already on a base install there are programs with a glitch leaving behind garbage.
I continued to uninstall the other games. Each was a 60 minute demo of a game which I could buy the full version. No thanks. These included. I tried to go back to the classic start menu.
Not sure if I like that. The new one looked like they got the orginization right. I investigate the games link which leads to a game website. I unclick the button that says run at startup. Launch Manager A program that runs in the background and apparently loads up nifty programs with those pointless buttons on the top of the laptop.
Acer eNet Management Does my internet work without it? Seems so. I took some time to clean up my start menu. I deleted that empty games folder. I apparently need permission to delete the icons. Try Again. I need permission to delete the icons. Try to delete again. You need to confirm this operation. Windows needs your permission to continue. You need permission to perform this action. There is no getting rid of these icons it seems : I did find that I can delete each one. We saw some of this with XP SP2.
You have to restart to make it happen. About 20 programs told me to do so already. Lets see.. It comes back up at I get rid of the GameZone icons that were leftover from a crappy uninstall. If some one likes to create a list about of what are on the laptops of and , it would be a good idea.
Because so far , by judging from my own Software , i do not see any bloat or trash. Dosed , Aug 23, My good friend if your inner goal are to gain few FPS more in gaming , by removing the software , your gain will be zero. I am saying this ,because many people thinks that way. Any way , i am happy for you , if you solved your problem. Can't rep you though Neither can anybody else Check out your settings in the User Control Panel.
