    Problem with my Acer Travelmate 3044WTMi

    I bought this computer in December 2006.
    I got it reformatted just a few weeks ago but boy, it only get worse.

    This is the problem.
    When I try to shut down the computer via "start", "shut down" from the start button, the black and white screen that shows "shutdown" "standby" "restart" takes forever to load. It takes a couple minutes (more than 1, less than 6) to show up. I don't know why that happens and it is a hassle. Not only that, everytime I shut down my computer, the next time I switch it on, it still tells me that I did not shut down my computer properly and that disk checking blue screen appears.

    I don't know why these symptoms are happening to my laptop. :confused:

    Startup also seems pretty slow. The screen showing Windows XP and candy bar down there moves at least 12 times (even my old PC only needs 5 movement from that candy bar) before the next page loads itself.

    Help me please.
