Just finished repairing an Acer 3500 which was freezing on startup and running very slow, mouse and keypad would stop responding. To shut it down I had to remove the power cord and battery. It would start in safe mode without any problems. The following fixed the problem.
Start in Safe Mode. Open Device Manager and expand Batteries.
Disable the entry "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery".
Close and restart notebook in normal mode.
Hope that corrects the problem it did for me.

If your machine is infected your best bet is to re-install the operating system. You could try logging into the machine in safe mode, This is usually done by restarting the pc and after or during the Asus splash screen keep hitting f8 until a black screen comes on with white writing. one of the options should say Start safe mode. Select that option and see if you can logon, if you can and you dont have a problem try running your anti virus scanner again while in safe mode.
Please let me know how it goes. There are other things I can get you to try just message back.

I will try it when I get home tonight and let you know tomorrow - when you say re-install the stuff on to it - do I require a disc to do that???
Someone told me in order to put the stuff back on I need a disc, but I never got one when I got the laptop - would I just order one of Acer?
Thanks

right on!!! As with Big Tone. This problem seems to stem from battery problems. My mouse pad/keyboard goes slow and freezes up soon after booting up. Can't even use the power button to shut down - have to unplug and remove battery. Before all this happened my battery seemed to be on its last leg - literally lasting about 2 minutes on its own.
So now I have removed the battery and it works fine.
Will further go on to do what Big Tone recommends.
Thanks

If you have Windows Xp as your operating system then you can do a repair easily. a Repair is when only the system files get replaced by deleting them and installing them again. Unlike format, you keep all of your data, but you are going to have to install your drivers again like the sound etc.
Do you know how to do the repair?

Boot from your XP disk, then in the windows instalation at the first screen press ENTER (do not press "R" at the first screen!) Then press F8 then to agree with the license agreement, then press "R". Follow the rest of the steps.
To boot from your XP disk, go to your BIOS. you can access your bios by pressing delete when you start your computer. Somewhere in your BIOS there should be a function like " First boot device" Change that so that its boots from the cd. Save and exit.
Hope this helps..

Then managed to find this post that REALLY WORKS! Pity I didn't find it yesterday, when I ordered a new laptop.
Thanks again.
