Oh dear - the topic title should say, 'Is it okay to disable ACPI mode?'. I've put an extra 'to' in there by mistake.
Hi,
Is it okay to disable ACPI mode?
I'm trying to set up Windows XP Pro on my laptop, but I get a blue screen with a lot of writing. It explains the problem as "The BIOS is not fully ACPI-compliant." It then suggests I contact the manufacturer to get an updated BIOS, or disable ACPI mode by pressing F7 at a certain time. Is it okay to just do the second thing, and disable ACPI mode? Or will that cause damage to my computer?
Thanks for reading.
Mike
