The supplied NVIDIA GeForce G210 MXM card is not compatible with Windows 8. Acer's response is that it will never be supported for 8.
With a windows 8.1 install the touchscreen is working, but the resolution is wrong / generic.
I've been trying to fix but I'm stuck in a loop of "NVIDIA Installer cannot continue / This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware".
The supplied NVIDIA GeForce G210 graphics card is definitely an add-on type, I've had the case off and it matches the setup shown here: http://www.mxm-upgrade.com/z5610.html (scroll down).
I've given up spending any more hours on it and I'd rather spend money to buy a compatible card than continue to try and hack drivers to get it working.
I don't need gaming, just web browsing and video streaming, the device also has DVB-T tv, so it'll get used for that too.
I don't have a lot of video card knowledge, but if anyone could recommend me one that will plug and play in windows 8 and supports a native res of 1920x1080 that would be great. Budget about £50 (flexible)
