    Could you please provide what the model of your notebook is? :)

    This way we can find the Driver you need and you can install it. ;)

    About "Internet Security 2010"... does this happen to be Norton Internet Security? Or no?

    The Internet Security is NOT a Norton product. I don't think Norton would produce such a intrusive piece of software!!! It won't stop popping up every 5 seconds trying to get me to purchase it! I think it hoodwinked my daughter into installing it as a " free trial" ver. Baa! :D

    As for the model, other than an 'Eee' on top, and the fact that it's just a few months old, how can I find which model it is? (Sry...it's my daughters)

    Thank you so much for ANY help on this!! :p

    You can find the ACPI drivers at http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

    As mentioned above, sort of, Antivirus XP, 2007, 2008, 2009, Internet Security 2010 = infamous badware. It's a pain to remove but not impossible. They want you to PAY for it to stop blowing up your computer. Just do a search for the removal instructions -- DO NOT pay for a tool to remove it.

    When I was doing on-site calls for small biz this was one of the most common things I'd spend my day on.

    Luckily I don't do that work anymore... a thankless job IMHO. It just comes back the next day when they browse the same seedy site on IE. :)
