Running windows xp professional so can't get past the login screen. Tried opening in safe mode but makes no difference. Touchpad and cursor still responsive. Have rebooted, removed battery but nothing works. Any suggestions welcome
SOURCE: Blank screen
Quite possible that the machine is defaulting to external display only. Check your BIOS for this and try any function keys/switches that are available.
SOURCE: mouse touchpad, keyboard, and usb drives will not work
i just removed the battery. it works too.

Hi
It seems you are stuck in a windows loading loop
Please do the following
1) Go into safe mode (swith the pc on and keep pressing F8 repeatedly until you have a menu presented to you, from the menu choose safe mode)
2) Once loaded click on Start>Programs>Accessories> System Tools> System restore
And restore your computer back to a point before the update was done
if it still loops when using safe mode through the method shown above then unfortunaltey you will have to reformat the PC
Please can i ask that you leave feedback and vote if this has been useful

First thing to try to uinstall and reinstall the software for your touchpad. Go to Acer and get the latest drivers and or software. Sometimes, just removing the driver and letting windows find it again in device manager is enough to fix it. hopes this helps.
Normally though. keyboard and touchpad are seperate entities. which made me think of the motherboard as that is the only constant between the 2 but, if your touchpad is buggy maybe it is causing issues elsewhere.
Testimonial: "Sounds like a sensible course of action, I have reloaded the driver but not from the Acer site."
Here is a
simple way to access Windows XP with Administrator rights and privileges if you
have password protected your User account on your Windows XP system and can't
remember the password(s) to login. Whenever Windows XP is installed on a
system, it creates a default account called "Administrator" and by
default this account is not password protected. Therefore, if you bought a
brand name computer (such as Dell, HP, Compaq or Sony)or you have installed
Windows XP yourself. You should be able to login to the computer through the
unprotected.
You can log on as an administrator to assign a
new password to your account. To do this, try Method 1.
Method
1:
Switch ON the PC, boot the PC in 'Safe Mode' by continuously tapping F8 button
after you switch on until you get the Safe Mode Option.
Let windows boot in Safe Mode and log in to windows.
Click through several self-explanatory
screens until your reach the familiar 'Welcome' screen.
Note that
this welcome screen is limited to 256 colors and 640x480 resolution because the
primary graphics will have been set to the Windows Safe Mode software VGA
adapter. You will not be able to change this mode even in Display options,
while Windows is running in Safe Mode.
Find
the icon for the Administrator user. If the default settings of your system haven't
been changed, there should be no password for this account.

of the other passwords for user on the machine. Make any changes you want.
Reboot your computer. As long as you don't
press any keys (e.g. F8) during the boot-up the
computer will startup normally.
