Windows XP hangs in Acer LapTop

[Michael]

I have found the following error message in the "Event
Viewer"

AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to read from an illegal IO
port address (0x71), which lies in the 0x70 - 0x71
protected address range. This could lead to system
instability. Please contact your system vendor for
technical assistance.

Any idea how to stop this. I could not find any updated
bios for this particular system from Acer's website.

Look in Event Viewer at the logged errors and post them

here and you may get some answers.

1. To open Event Viewer, click Start, click Control

Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, double-click
Event Viewer and select System for system errors or
Application for application errors. Look for Error in the
Type column and double click on Error to reveal a
Description of the error. This can be copied by using
Clipboard Viewer (see later).

2. Part of the Description of the error will include a

link, which you should double click for further
information and you can copy using copy and paste.

http://go.microsoft.com/fw.link/events.asp
(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)

3. For some errors you will find "+ Related Knowledge

Base Article", which if double clicked takes you to the
Knowledge Base Article containing a suggested solution.

There always seems to be a step 2 but not always a step 3.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports (Step 1). Run

Event Viewer and double click on the error you want to
copy. In the window which appears is a button resembling
two pages. Double click the button and close Event
Viewer. Now start your message ( email )and do a paste
into the body of the message. This will paste the info
from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links
into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after
exiting from Event Viewer. It can be helpful to place a
shortcut to Event Viewer on your Desktop.
