Hi,

I think the problem with your laptop is that the operating system on your laptop is corupt, that is why the windows is not responding.
I will advice you reinstall the operating system on your laptop, if the operating system can be reinstall, the windows should work fine and respond.

Take care.

if you have the windows cd that came with your laptop, you can try repairing the Windows installation. to do so, insert the disc, turn your system on. as you progress, you will see a screen that give you an option to repair windows without formatting the system of affecting your files.

Please connect a USB Mouse and keyboard then power on your laptop it will boot your win xp then re enable your touchpad by going to device manager. It will work.

Turn on your laptop n try pressing Alt-F10....n try restart it....generally acer laptops work properly after pressing Alt F10.....
Also if u r able to turn on ur laptopn in safe mode then try deactivate windows update...and restart ur laptop in normal mode.....

try this >> when you turn on your pc press f8 then choose "last known good configuration"

restart u r laptop and press f8 button when u r laptop start in starting press f8 and then restore u r system and again install u r driver after uninstalling

1. Start the laptop
2. when the logo screen turns black start pressing F8 a few times.
3. A Windows Boot Options screen should show on the screen
4. If you see the Windows Logo (the normal thing when Windows loads, then press reset and try again
5. At the Windows Boot Options screen select "Last known good configuration" and press Enter twice

It "should" now load normally, if not then..

1. Replace step 5 above with "Safe Mode" and see if that loads all the way through. If so, then restart and see if its OK now.

If not, then post back with any error messages and we can look at something else.

use xp cd boot in repair it or redo format fresh copy on
