My Acer laptop has a white triangle in the corner of the screen (20%).
Nothing appears or works in this dead zone. Acer support keeps asking
questions, but only gives basic ideas *like "restart" or repower,
etc., I haven't added any programs or encountered any problems,etc.,
It just appeared a week ago. Everything seems to work, but that lower
right hand corner is "dead."

It probably has nothing to do with Windows, but. . .

Is the dead zone there as soon as you turn the notebook on? If you go into
BIOS, does the whole screen show? If 'no', then you have a dead spot on your
LCD panel and the only fix is a replacement. Do a Google search for your
particular model and see what a replacement LCD costs. It may be cheaper in
the long run to buy a new laptop. If it is still under warranty, get an RMA
from Acer and send it back for repair. If you go that route, make sure you
do a complete backup of your hard drive since the first thing any of the
companies do is wipe it and start over.

Thanks for the info. I actually could live with just that corner being
unusable on this machine, but what is the chance that area will
enlarge?
