    Might as well reformat again. Hard to say what exactly is wrong. Next time though, instead of installing spyware, install SpySweeper.

    have you installed all the newest drivers for the touchpad?
    I know it's a stupid question but did you leave Numlock on?

    The F9 option only takes less than half an hour (much faster than the DVDs).

    You should try it.
