ACPI Question

I have been reading about people having problems with XP not shutting down.

I see references made to having ACPI enabled in the motherboard BIOS.

Well I am currently running ME (planning on upgrading to XP Pro, hopefully soon if it works out as I hope).

I have ACPI disabled in my motherboard BIOS. My computer shuts downs fine now as it is.

Am I going to be having these kind of problems if I leave the BIOS ACPI disabled when installing XP Pro?
 
mike i believe (most) of the problems with a constant reboot have been with roxio 5.0x. once you install the patch it is all good.
 
I sure hope I don't. When I see this kind of stuff referring to ACPI, I start thinking about it. I never really wanted ACPI as it was a resource I just didn't want or need. I don't use screensavers, hibernation, standby, suspend, any of that stuff. Seems they created more problems than they were worth.

It seems XP uses/relies on it much more than 98/ME ever did.

Just what is the difference between APM and ACPI anyway?

Hey PC Tek. SUP! I see I'm not the only one checking info on New Years Eve.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
