funny keyword on google

Sometimes, I make fun of keywords on Google, I even tweet photos of  commonly used words but anyways, let’s get to the bottom line, I notice that this error appears after installing updates (I am currently using Acer) and sometimes when I transfer to another outlet. I have no idea why I get this error every now and then- and I don’t have time to research, what’s important is  that I resolved it every time, and in less than 5 minutes.  There are a lot of instructions online, that’s why I posted that photo. But just in case their steps did not work- try this:

  1. Disconnect the adapter.
  2. Shutdown with battery only.
  3. Remove the battery and power on using the adapter only.
  4. Uninstall this from Device Manager –> ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery.
  5. Shutdown and disconnect the adapter.
  6. Drain the power from your machine (hold down the power button for few seconds, like 10 or 20 )
  7. Put the battery back, turn on the machine (without the adapter).
  8. Connect the adapter and check if the battery icon is moving and says that its charging.
  9. Goodluck.

Okay, if the above steps didn’t solve your problem, go to Bing or install XP <- the best.
