Answer
You have to make sure you have all the latest device driver downloads for your ACER laptop.. including but not limited to its chipset and video card drivers, which might all be included in the same device driver package. I'm not sure how ACER divides its device driver packages. If you are unsure on how to go about doing this, http://www.driverstorer.com/help.html has a great device driver download and installation guide, and direct links to most popular computer hardware manufacturer's device driver download centers.
Happy gaming!

Are PRC Chinese Internet users improving in their anti-American attitudes?
Miao Tsetu
Recent Internet polls indicate that 59.9% of Chinaâs Internet users express dissatisfaction regarding the death of Osama bin Laden saying they were, âsaddened, because an anti-American fighter has fallen.â
This seems to be an improvement over the polls shortly after the attacks on nearly 3000 civilians on the World Trade Centers when 90% of Chinaâs Internet users, mostly educated elites, âexpressed cheering approval for the terrorists mass killings of Americansâ.
Will this downward trend continue, or is the constant anti-American propaganda just too strong a force to contend with?

@dog lover, your post in which you Capitalize the "C" in China but omit capitalization in the "A" in America is quite instructive in how the CCP has taught you to think. Please read CraftyLass's post for clarification on the issue.
Answer
China places a lot of time and money on directing public opinion. As quickly as they delete offending content (How fast did the word "jasmine" disappear from China's netwaves?) they are are equally quick at posting what they (the government) thinks the people should think.
" . . . If the Foreign Ministry spokeswomanâs comments were vague, those of Wang Chen, the information director for the State Council, or Chinaâs cabinet, were more pointed.
In the transcript of an interview posted Thursday on the councilâs Web site, Mr. Wang urged Internet companies to increase scrutiny of news or information that might threaten national stability and emphasized the importance of âguidingâ online public opinion.
Web sites in China are required to employ people who monitor and delete objectionable content; tens of thousands of others are paid to âguideâ bulletin board Web exchanges in the governmentâs favor.
âChinaâs Internet is entering an important stage of development, confronting both rare opportunities and severe challenges,â Mr. Wang said. âInternet media must always make nurturing positive, progressive mainstream opinion an important duty.â

Bloomberg records the same comments:
"'A Chinese government official earlier today defended the nationâs right to censor the Internet.
âEffective guidance of public opinion on the Internet is an important way of protecting the security of online information,â Wang Chen, director of the State Council Information Office, said in a question-and-answer session with reporters, a transcript of which was posted on the officeâs Web site today."
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aA6hDqJb8dlw
"Last week, China established a new government agency designed to ensure that the rest of the nation's world-beating 457 million Internet users are equally compliant and that its fast-growing Internet companies, several of which are waiting for a listing on U.S. stock exchanges, play by Beijing's rules.
"The State Internet Information Office said it will ensure the "healthy development" of China's Internet. Assuming responsibilities now spread across several ministries, the agency will supervise both content and companies in everything from online news reporting to gaming and video."

To be frank, China is not afraid of the US at all. They don't really care about the US. They're progressing on their own terms and they will do it at their own pace.
HOWEVER, China is afraid of her own people. By directing anti-xxxx sentiment towards the US, there are great hopes that negative energy among the people goes in that direction rather than towards their own government. They have successfully done this towards Japan for years . . . but saw it backfire last autumn when anti-Japan rallies became anti-government rallies.
Smoke and mirrors only last for so long. While China's general population has been "controlled" for centuries, it's doubtful in this day and age that they will continue to allow such control to continue. There WILL be a breaking point . . . and that is what the government is afraid of.
