I've got an Acer Aspire 5611 laptop, which was a replacement for another that went bad. This one didn't come with any software or windows installed, I had to get a new copy for it. I've been able to download all the acer drivers and the acer utilities sets, but I can't find anywhere to download the Acer Arcade software, which seems to be a requirement for being able to use the dedicated media buttons on the side of the laptop. Does anyone know where I can find this, or if it's even available? Searching for ideas, I've found one thread that said to use the advanced search function on Acer's website, but it doesn't work for me. Only the regular search button works. It's also a little irritating to find that Acer doesn't have any live technical chat support. With my previous compaq model i was able to chat them up anytime when something went wrong. Now I can't, and on the website the closest support center to me is singapore. Not exactly next door.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

I've always find the Acer website useless. Never be able to find anything I need.

From what I gather online, it seems that you can't download Acer Arcade directly from Acer's website. Maybe it's easier to get it from the guy who sell you the notebook, or ask him to burn you a copy.

That's a bummer... I guess I could get the guy to burn me a copy... still, for being such a large corporation, you'd think they'd offer better customer support.

Let me see if I could get a copy from my IT friend here, or from P2P network.

Grafitti, I've got one from eMule, version 3.0. Another one still waiting to finish, version 4.52, quite slow. I'll PM you the url for the version 3. Btw, I'm still uploading, so try after an hour time.

Let me knows if it works. Good Luck

do acer computer come with arcase software now? i got an acer computer in 2004 and it didnt come with it (the year probably explains the reason, lol)

i agree with faulty.lee, i find the acer website really bad and useless. it doesnt help with any problems you have, also, once i had a sound problem and i went on the acer site to download a new driver, the one for sound turned out to be a graphics driver :l

Please Please ... any chance i can get a copy. I have a acer aspire 9815 and have managed to reload driver and utilities after hard drive corrupted but need arcade

This may be of help to people looking for ACER ARCADE (XP version) - may be upgrades to download from Acer support website for vista. This came from Acer-Euro. Http://support.Acer-euro.Com/drivers/notebook/as_2000.Html

Seems the page is gone, anyone have any news on this? I also need arcade to get my Blu-Ray drive to work (nothing supports blu-ray as of yet, except programs from the manufacturers, in my case, Acer).

Hi,



I've been having this same issue.



The link does work, just replace the 'H' with 'h' in .Html :)
