When I turn the conmputer on, the ACER screen comes on, followed by a blue screen that flashes for about one second. After that I get a screen tat says Windows cannot load properly, and gives me 2 options;
1. Load Windows with last saved options(that worked)
2. Start Windows automatically
Both options take me to the same screen, the ACER screen, then it repeats the process.
Are you able to boot in safe mode?
Are you able to boot from cd?
you may have to reinstall windows.
To run the check disk utility you will need a repair disc or
a operating system disc. Put the disc in the cd drive and boot from
it. You want to get to the Dos Command Prompt (Black screen with white
letters) and type the following command: chkdsk /r
Check disk will run well over an hour or two and you will notice the
percentages going from high to low, this is normal. Let it run to
completion. Then reboot machine.
If check disk fails to solve your problem you might have to reinstall windows.
Try doing a Repair Install that way you don't loose your data, documents,
music, pictures, videos or programs.
In windows xp you get to the dos command prompt by selecting R for repair when
the options appear.
In Vista and Windows 7 you want to get to the recovery
console and look down at the bottom of the window for the Dos Command.

I cannot boot from any options, including safe mode, and I do not have a CD drive. How would I reinstall windows?
I have the EXACT same problem--my options are safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, safe mode with networking, last known good configuration, and start windows normally. No matter which one I pick, I get the Windows XP loading screen and then the blue screen flash (one second is not long enough to read all of what's on it), then it powers down to restart, goes to the Acer loading screen, and then the "failure to load" screen with the options again. I'm having someone look at it on monday so I'll let you know if I find anything.
Any chance anyone knows how to bypass windows startup and go to the operating system Acer pre-installed? Like with the little buttons for web browsing, email, etc
