But i have used a "standard PC" that had ACPI functions. Standard PC is what you get from XP when your hardware is not fully ACPI compatable. e.g you may have all functions but standby or hibernate
If you set the bios to non plug and play, that used to stop it installing.
The previous explanation you posted is probably of use to programmers only.
From Jfactor1's initial post, the only answer i can see is a bios upgrade. (assuming all other bios settings are correct) This may, or may not stop the illegal system accesses. It depends how old the system is.
Jfactor, give me your mainboard number and wee'll see what i can turn up.
