    Resolved [RESOLVED] Disabling ACPI in Win XP Setup

    Is there a way to disable acpi with a d:\setup /pi command like there is when installing Win 98?? Standby doesn't work on my comp when ACPI is enabled. Thanks if anybody knows the command.

    "During Windows Setup, ACPI is installed only if all components present during Setup support power management. Some components, especially legacy components, do not support power management and can cause erratic behavior with Advanced Power Management (APM), or may prevent ACPI from being installed. Examples of such components are Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) components and an out-of-date BIOS."

    Straight from Windows XP Help Support.

    Also:
    "To change power settings that take advantage of ACPI, use Power Options in Control Panel."
