Hello, I have a Acer AM5100-E1208A, and i just bought a Xtreme HDMI cable but my computer cant find the software to install it, i dont know what to do HELP!?

You really don't need firmware for your monitor. Look on the Acer's website if you really want it.

kay im not really a computer cavie person so if you wanna give advice, walk me through it, please, oh and i dont have windows installed thanks to some shittie networking

 

[StarriEyes]

& i cant F all on acer.ca.... *crys*

 

[gary1]

What are you running then, Linux?

 

[StarriEyes]

I dunno it just asks me every time i turn on my comp to activate windows and i just say activate later, bc i dont have the CD or the product key

 

[gary1]

Wait, just looked up that thing. It's a computer, where are you exactly trying to plug the HDMI cable into.. There's not HDMI slot.

 

[StarriEyes]

yeah their is....it says HDMI on it...

 

[StarriEyes]

& its orange, around the plug in

 

[StarriEyes]

Kay well i looked at the info for the comp and its not showing my comp...bc mine has 2 disk outlets, and a plastic slide up cover under the CD slots that covers the plug-in for camera sticks and things like that, and the USB plug ins(4) are on the top on a peice that kinda sticks out and up.

 

[gary1]

Oh I see it now. So what's the problem? Are you getting a picture? If you are, you're fine.
