problem

I would upgrade to a new ROM like LCR 1.8 it should have the apps you need

Exactly, your best bet would be to upgrade to a new ROM or find a nandroid backup of stock ROM and restore that.

Upgrading to 2.2 does fix this issue.

 

Unable to find a video, but here is a guide- [TUTORIAL] How to flash .bin files on Acer Liquid/E - Android @ MoDaCo

All .bin files are available here- Acer Liquid & Liquid E ALL ROMs bin extract collection - Android @ MoDaCo . The best 2.2 one available right now is 4.504b.00.

 

Also doing this does close up root.

On your first boot, you will load into Acer UI, here is a video showing how it works and stuff- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJS85gPLhR0 . If you don't like it, go to Settings-->Applications-->User Interface-->Android UI and phone will reboot into standard Android UI.

If you do plan to root, back up all your essential apps/data through Titanium Backup. Install the latest MalezRecovery and you can root the phone using MalezRecovery. Also if you are interested in custom ROMs, you can check out the FroYo LCR- LCR Community Rom - News

Enjoy.

 

Also read this after you have read all the how to it is a simple instruction to follow after you read the long ones, sort of a check list

So did you go into the x86 folder (assuming you have 32-bit Vista) and click setup.exe?

Have you tried it multiple times or only that once?
