| 734044 | 2009-01-01 21:40:00 | When I installed WinXP (SP3 slipstreamed into my install CD) on my newish computer (Been without Internet for about a month, so haven't been able to get onto pressf1 much to ask for help) it detected my computer as a MPS Multiprocessor PC instead of an ACPI Multiprocessor PC. From a quick google search, I can see that I will have to reinstall (possibly a repair install?), but when I reinstall, how do I make it see that my computer is ACPI compliant? My motherboard uses an AMD 780G chipset. |

| 734045 | 2009-01-01 21:51:00 | You can try doing a reinstall with the original XP CD, without SP3 and see if it works correctly - then if it does, then install SP3. There maybe something in the slipstreaming that didn't quite go right. Edited: according to This site (www.sharkyextreme.com) between the first two pictures it says the chipset is ACPI specification 3.0 power management, and HyperFlash |

| 734046 | 2009-01-01 23:15:00 | I had a similar problem, it will only recognize this if you re-install with the original XP CD. Try to go to the website of your motherboard and install al the latest drivers..!! |

| 734047 | 2009-01-02 06:54:00 | ACPI has to be enabled before install....if not, dont enable after install as that is different HAL drivers etc... | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 734048 | 2009-01-03 00:22:00 | I reinstalled with the original SP2 CD & that fixed this problem. The odd thing is my SP3 CD worked fine on my friend's computer (I gave him all my old parts). Now I just need to get HDMI working & I'll be set |
