My acers aspire 3690 laptop boots up to windows xp home perfectly but the usb ports do not work,it shows that it is working but when i plug in a usb device it does not try to reconigse it, i cannot find...

The partition D is actually a back up partition that has factory image for the original Operating system that was installed in the computer.
factory recovery ( DATA LOSS )
if the computer is booting to windows, then click start and open a folder named as 'acer' listed in ' all programs '.You will find the ' Acer e-recovery managent ' in that folder.You can open it and click allow for the user account controls.Please click 'restore ' for the next screen and the select the first option, 'completely restore to factory defaults '.Follow the on screen instruction to initiate the Recovery.
The Alternate method for starting the Recovery on startup is using the combination of ALT+F10 ( some models its ALTgr ) on startup.Press and Hold down the ALT( Left hand of space ) and at the same time keep on tapping the F10 key till you get the message " Windows is loading files".Just follow the On screen Instructions to start the Recovery.

Videos stop playing

Hold crtl+shift+esc and tell me the list of everything under the processes tab.  You can resize the task manager window til it shows all of them without the slider.  Hit Ctrl+Print Screen to copy your screen.  Then start run mspaint and hit Ctrl+V to paste it.  Save it on your desktop as rscraig2screen.jpg and post the image on my google group.  Click +add file next to Files.  It will tell me when it's loaded.  Have you run spybot or AdAware(NOT AdWare!)?  Do you have an integrated video port or is it a card?
