II own an Acer Travelmate 634 laptop with XP Pro. I have probs starting it! I need to press the power on button 20-30 times before XP starts. By pressing the power the cd drive starts and the hard drive light blinks and then nothing... When I finally get it starting, the Acer boot screen stays on for ages before XP finally starts. Shutting down also the blue screen stays on forever.

When the XP is running I have no problems.

What I have tried so far is scanned for viruses, updated drivers, installed SP2, but nothing... Same problem happens with or without battery.

PLEASE can anyone help me??? Im desperate.
 
sounds more like a hardware problem, i'd take it to a local shop laptops are more delicate than pc's
 
Agreed... I'd check your RAM first. Have you expanded it? Take out the expansion and see if it still messes up.
 
Thanks...

I havent done anything with the hardware, memory and all rest is as from factory...
 
I still sort of expect the RAM, or some other major hardware as skunx710 said. Unfortunetly, there might not be anything you can do...
