Laptop Woes

[navy blue]

Hi

Have a laptop that freezes in Windows after a spill on the keyboard, have replaced the keyboard not making much difference. The issue is when it boots into windows the trackpad when used stutters across the screen, put in an external keyboard and mouse and they work fine. But then If we go to shutdown the laptop, it just hangs and even the power button will not shut it down have to take battery out.
The strange thing is using Linux live cd's (Knoppix an Ubuntu) the laptop trackpad and keyboard work fine, dont miss a beat at all !!!
So I simply said restore the OS must be a XP issue, when nearly thru finalising the reinstall and getting to the settings etc (Country, network, users etc), the mouse stutters again and the keyboard doesnt work. Install a usb mouse, all fine, install usb keyboard, doent work, so I cant get past putting in a user......

Anyone got any suggestions wot the hell is going on, it is freaking me out!!!!!!

Cheers
