Good News! It works!

I did a clean install of win7 when i upgraded my laptop, so i didnt have the launch manager, but if you go to Acer`s website here gd.panam.acer.com­/home/ and click through to the aspire 5536, then select applications and your OS (it has every OS all the way back to winXP), then youll see the Launch Manager download link! im currently using airport WiFi so its a little slow to download but at least ive got it!

Well now i know how to program it, I believe this is the same way to re-program it too.

Thanks for all the help guys!
Austin

Search for the "Launch Manager" in the Start Menu. If you click on the shortcut, a window will open with available program shortcuts. It took me 10 minutes to figure this out. Hope this helps. Those 10 mins seem like forever...

Sometimes it's just little details that separates a great and not so great answer! Here are a few simple tips to keep in mind:

Be complete and thorough. Don't skimp on the details!
2
Try not to answer with a question. Because that's not really an answer, right?

A little research goes a long way. Back up your claims and assumptions!
