ACPI enabling
If you flash your BIOS and enable new ACPI features, your XP install
will not match your ACPI capabilities. The kernel file and the hal.dll file may need to be changed. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tre...d_stp_fwal.asp indicates that you can fix this by copying the correct file from the CD after changing the BIOS settings to enable ACPI. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=237556 describes the various ACPI file names and their descriptions. You can use this information to select the file to copy from the CD. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=299340 indicates that a repair install can be used to change the HAL. The options presented may be sufficient to allow you to select the right option. -- Kent W. England, Microsoft MVP for Windows "Amir" wrote in message ... I am having the same problem.
