Hi I have just fixed this error on a friends Acer Aspire 5670 Win XP SP3, the way I did this was to start the laptop with the power supply and the battery removed turned off the Critical Battery Alarm in the power options, replaced the battery (Locking the Keyboard ETC) removed the Power supply and ran the thing until the battery went flat, then restarted the laptop with the battery and the power supply, this seems to have fixed the problem for the while but I have advised my friend to purchase a new battery
