Reset default means reformat the drive and re3install the system and drivers. You need the discs for that which I presume you don't have.

You have some problem with your battery. If still under warranty, contact Acer. Alternatively, replace the battery with a known good one.

Find replacement at FixYa.com advertiser, Acer or www.batteries.com.

I'm guessing it's a built-in camera. In this case, if you open a program such as Skype or MSN messeger, you will have a pop-up window saying that the program has identified your web camera, and would you like to set it up.
otherwise, these built in cameras have program which allows you to record images and mainly set your camera. Check in your "Start" menu for such a program

Try unplugging all the chords and then back in. Maybe the chord input got knocked loose?

they probably dont have the driver avail yet go to the microsaft support site or call them and find out

you can reinstall the sound driver after downloading from the manufacturer support site.

Sound driver is meant for a specific Operating System. So, while downloading, make sure that you're downloading the sound driver for the Operating System installed on the Computer.

it sounds like it could be a firewall problem or some sort of internet security isssue..check your firewall settingsd and other security settings

Try pushing F8 to bring up the boot menu at post,

boot.cfg file, let me know if it works..

I got myself a used cd/dvd drive from another laptop on Ebay for 15 bucks, then I found a slimline dvd enclosure that operates using the USB interface on Ebay for 18 bucks. Put the two together and you get a slimline external dvd drive that simply plugs into the usb and can boot your netbook from. You can either put one together yourself or buy one from 50-100 bucks. If you have a SATA to usb adapter (ebay for 20 bucks) you can use a full size drive from a desktop, plug in the adapter and plug it into the usb and it will do the same thing. Once this drive has been procured, follow the repair below. First is Vista, the second is Vista or XP

Vista Boot-up Repair

Vista is very good about repairing itself. Boot from the cd and when prompted choose your windows installation, most likely it will be the only one. Once that is chosen, windows will ask what you wish to do….choose repair, if windows finds errors in the boot-up process, it will fix them from the files on the disc….if does not find anything relevant or cannot fix the errors, it will prompt you to try system restore and give you hints on the restore points to choose, I usually will go back farther than what is suggested. If these do not work, follow the repair listed below.

Step one, you need a Windows Vista CD. If you only have a recovery disk set like the ones from HP or Compaq they will not do what you need done. Under normal circumstances however, you can use a Dell disk because the Operating system is on a stand-alone disk. All retail versions are also acceptable as well as upgrade disks. For a rule of thumb, if the disk has the Microsoft hologram it should work. You can order a boot up floppy disk from here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310994 with this file, if you know how, you can use “ImageBurn” to burn the file into an ISO file which can be burned to a disk. Now make sure your computer boots to the cd rom first. If you know how to do this skip on down, if you don’t, while the computer is first starting up and you see the manufacturers splash screen, tap F12 (some computers it’s F9, others it may be another key, you may have to watch and see if the computer lists the key strokes for getting to the boot menu. If you still cannot find it, boot into the BIOS settings and change your boot order there. Save your settings and exit, the computer will now seek the cd rom as its boot source first.
Place your Windows disk in the computer and start it up. When you see the test at the top of the page “Press Any Key To Boot From CD” Just hit the space bar to activate. The next screen you will see will most likely be a Windows setup screen, when you see this press the “R” key to get to the recovery console. It will get there, it may take a little time, patience. Once it loads you will be given a choice of Windows installations, there should only be one, if there are more, always pick number one. It may ask for an administrators password, if you have not set this particular password, then just leave it blank and press enter. The next prompt you see is:
C:\Windows>
You need to type the following:
cd \
hit enter. Pay close attention to the spacing between the characters. There is a space between the character “d” and the “\”
You are now at the ROOT of the drive, this is where basic commands can be given and changed. You should now see the following:
C:\>
Now type the following:
CHKDSK /R
Hit the enter key.
The chkdsk /r command also includes the P command and will also look for lost recoverable information in bad sectors.
There are occasions depending on how corrupt the system is, that this process could take several hours, so be patient with it.
Now, after chkdsk has run type the following:
FIXBOOT
Hit the enter key.
It may prompt you with a warning, that’s ok, just continue. When fixboot has finished, type: EXIT hit enter and windows will reboot. When the system reboots, tap the F8 key during this time and you will see the multi-boot menu come up. Scroll to the title “Last Know Good Configuration” and hit the enter key. If you were having some simple drive errors this should have fixed them.

What do you mean by connection Icon? Can be more specific please? Just in case, most problems like this can be solve by restore system. Go to Start, All programs, Accessories, system tools, system restore. Restore it to a time that you know it was working fine.

Remove the hard drive,go to local computer shop and buy a 2.5" to 3.5" IDE adapter,put it on another computer to get your files. If it is SATA,just hook it to another computer that has open SATA connection. You might have to buy SATA data cable.
