Press ctrl+alt+delete. Choose shutdown. or, press and hold the power button. This is a hard shutdown, though, so make sure you save any data first.

You could perhaps press and hold the power button. This is a hard shutdown but is guaranteed to work. Then simply switch your laptop back on again. Note: If your laptop is stressing you out that much, why not buy a new one?

Wierd question. If you just purchased the laptop, the battery needs to be fully recharged before you can use it without the AC power. The battery doesn't have enough power to run the wireless connection to the internet via it's wireless card, hence you need to be on AC to connect.

Odd question... Make sure the battery is fully charged. The computer does require more power to use the wireless, but it shouldn't matter to that degree at all. If after charging the battery it doesn't work, it almost sounds like you have a short in the computer somewhere.

go on ubuntu.com and download the iso of the latest ubuntu. download unetbootin and burnt ubuntu iso onto any usb. now restart your computer and run off the usb not hard drive. you can use the bios to change you boot.
2 :
http://www.linuxmint.com/ download it and burn it, Insert DVD on your laptop, boot from DVD, try it (You are not installing it)

I'll suggest you to use Ubuntu instead of linux mint. Linux mint is a modified version of ubuntu. First Download the Ubuntu from the following link: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download Then make a USB drive bootable. You can do that from the link above (by following the steps 2 and 3) or you can do that by following the steps of the link below: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/usb Now you can use windows without doing any changes to your existing windows. For that, after that Boot your laptop from the USB. After booting select the "Try Ubuntu" option. So that you can test Ubuntu without installing it in your computer! Sounds amazing right! You can also test ubuntu with Virtual Box too. For more information please go to the following link: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox Also you can just insert the usb to your computer while you are using windows, and open the USB, double click the wubi.exe file. This will allow you to install ubuntu just like a normal windows application, which you can uninstall from the control panel. These are the way to test ubuntu without tampering your windows.

To download it, simply go to: http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php You may also refer to some local software distributors for copy of the latest Mint distro on a CD or DVD; And some of the distributors would download the OS and burn it on a CD/DVD for you for a charge. Acer wouldn't be different from other laptops in terms of compatibility, as linux is compatible with most common hardware - excluding your internal win-modem Most Linux distros allow a kind of evaluation before installation. They would let you see if Linux recognizes your machine's hardware, and decide whether you like the looks and the provided apps. So try this option first before opting for installation. And if you ever consider keeping Linux and Win 7 together on your laptop, Linux Mint kindly allows this to happen, but remember you need to install Mint on a separate drive and that drive will be formated.

Installing Linux as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/wubi Linux Mint has a similar installer called mint4win (mint4win works the same as Wubi so the instructions outlined above are almost identical) You keep Windows as it is, mint4win only adds an extra option to boot into Linux Mint. mint4win does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application. mint4win keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application. Boot in to windows insert the Linux Mint LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the mint4win installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Linux Mint (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it. Once Linux Mint is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Linux Mint Linux Mint 10 Download http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=67 Linux Mint 10 User Guide http://linuxmint.com/rel_julia.php You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 10 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto Linux Mint 10 as with most distros. can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Boot without touching your Hard Drive LUg.

@MAQ that's like saying use debian since that's what ubuntu is based off of. Linux mint is perfectly fine for the average user. Just google Linux mint and that should take you to their web page.
