APM Tab
First thank you for looking and helping and sorry for the long post.
I tried looking at all the other messages and did not see one covering my issue. I have XP/SP2 installed then I installed Windows 2000 for a dual boot. When I tried to log into XP is said missing "hal.dll" after I reloaded hal.dll from the CD it still didn't work, I then found a site that said I needed to reinstall ntdetect (or something like that) and another file. The computer now boots into XP but when I shut down it says it's ok to turn off the computer. This didn't happen before. I read alot of messages saying to go to the APM tab and enable it. I looked and don't have an APM tab (I think it was there before I reinstalled hal.dll). Is there an update that I need to find that places the APM tab in the power management section? I always update my system so if it's an automatic one the log shows this as being done. Is there a log entry or registry entry that needs to be cleared? My BIOS does support APM. System is 3.0ghz, 1.5gb ram and 256mb ati video. Thank you in advance. Joe |

APM Tab
The APM tab is unavailable on ACPI–compliant computers. ACPI automatically
enables Advanced Power Management, which disables the APM tab. Power Options Start | Run | Type: powercfg.cpl | Click OK Power Schemes, Advanced, Hibernate and UPS tabs.

APM Tab
Thanks for the information Wes. Do you (or anyone) know how I can get my
system to power down after I shut it down? It worked before I reinstalled hal.ddl, ntdetect and the other file (had to do with nt).
