| 536266 | 2007-03-27 23:27:00 | yes it was later, not by much though. I loaded the fail-safe configuration, just to be sure, its a pretty good machine with 512mb ram, i have tried swapping video cards. i did swap the cdrom for a dvddrive when i first got it. wouldthis be the issue | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 536267 | 2007-03-27 23:35:00 | What else is in the case, besides the videocard, hdd and ram?? What are the PCI cards, if any are installed? Swapping the cd for a dvd shouldnt stop it from installing XP . Well u could try putting the cd back in, see if it works . But it shouldnt make a diff . |

Swapping the cd for a dvd shouldnt stop it from installing XP . Well u could try putting the cd back in, see if it works . But it shouldnt make a diff . I have seen that make a difference . I used to get issues with older DVD Roms and windows installation . I don't know about Win2000, but if it's the same as XP, when it asks you to press F6 during setup, you can press F5 and change the type of PC it is (ACPI etc . ) You want it to be ACPI Single Processor or some such, but if that doesn't work, you can go for Standard PC . If you do go standard PC, and it installs, you won't be able to use the shutdown command, or stand-by . |

| 536273 | 2007-03-28 06:54:00 | No. If XP doesn't detect your BIOS as ACPI compliant and installs as a 'Standard PC' (check under computer in Device Manager) then Shutdown will not turn the computer off (it'll sit at the "it is safe to turn your computer off" screen) and the standby button will be greyed out (like it is when you haven't got video drivers installed). The only way to fix it if XP has installed as a 'Standard PC' is a repair install as you can't replace the HAL drivers without a reinstall. |

| 536274 | 2007-03-28 08:12:00 | Im doubting that the bios is out of date, or needs updating, as it was working at the business where it came from last week . That means nothing . It now has a new install . If it was my dad I'd ask for different presents . . . . . . . :p |
