I need to turn off ACPI in Windows XP Home. So far I have extracted a few DLLs from a zip in C:\Windows\ic86 (something like that) and put them in C:\Windows\System32 I have also added a few lines to boot.ini I have done this so I dont have to reinstall windows all-together. Im following a guide, and the next step says to go into BIOS and disable anything relating to ACPI. Well the problem is, I cant find anything to do with ACPI in the BIOS menu.

I looked around in BIOS > Advanced, thats where they said it should be, but I cant find anything. Does anyone know specific things in BIOS that have to do with ACPI?

Thanks

It should just be an 'enable ACPI' option. But if you've disabled it in XP then there is no need to disable it anyway..

Is this because of a blue screen problem?

Go to http://tweakersasylum.com and have a look at their guides - looks like you don't need to play around with the bios.

Also the performance benchmarks aren't particularly great.

If it ain't broke - try harder.

ACPI can cause unstable network connections with anything that needs to be ported out. I need to disable it so I can keep these connections stable.

If anyone would like to see the guide Im following, just post.
