Registering your Smart Card
Important! Your Acer notebook is equipped with a Smart Card
security feature that protects the computer from unauthorized
access. If you enable this feature, please make sure that your
warranty card is completed and sent back to Acer. This
information will be used by Acer service centers to confirm
ownership in case your Smart Card "key" is lost or damaged.
Registering your notebook with Acer's service center is extremely
important when replacing your lost Smart Card "key".
If you have already bypassed the Smart Card registration, please
reinstall the application as follows:
1 Insert your System CD and reinstall from it.
2 Follow the onscreen instructions.
To enable the Smart Card security feature, please refer to your Smart
Card user manual.

Me, 2000 or XP at the operating system level. It provides user

Card. If your Smart Card is unavailable, the Emergency Card can serve
as a temporary replacement for the Smart Card. After installation, the
PlatinumSecure icon appears on the Windows desktop. Double-click on
it or click the right mouse button, then select Open from the pop-up
menu (or launch it from the PlatinumSecret program group). From the
