Fan on Laptop will not run after upgrade from Windows ME to Win XP Pro

[Jerry]

I had an origional operating system of Windows ME on my
machine and the fan ran all of the time... Currently I
upgraded to Windows XP Professional <not clean install but
upgrade> and my Laptop fan only runs during boot up.. why
will it not run anymore? Laptop is overheating.

Check vendors website for drivers for your laptops power management.

Did that too, is it possible to edit theACPI.sys file and
tell XP to run fan?
