be careful though. I think I read that once you do that you can't go back without reinstalling windows. ACPI manages a lot of stuff that laptops care about, like sleep modes, waking, battery monitoring and charging, disk spin down, CPU speed step, screen brightness, temperature/fans, etc. When ACPI was new people had that stuff in both modes in the BIOS, although much more is possible with ACPI. Now that ACPI has been the required default for a few years, the "old" code in the BIOS may have fallen into neglect, and your laptop might not work very much like a laptop anymore if you turn ACPI off. You might not care if you just plug it in all the time and use it like a desktop. kim At 04:43 PM 8/14/2002, Clifford Novey wrote: >Under Windows 2000 you select ACPI in the device manager- update drivers- >choose from list- pick Standard PC- then the computer stops using ACPI, >re-detects ALL of your hardware and spreads the IRQs out quite nicely. >WinXP >may also work this way- Steinberg and RME both have pages on the topic. > >Cliff ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
