Just got a new laptop (well second hand) and it is supposed to be ACPI compliant.
I cant install windows7 as it says it isn't ACPI compliant on the bios, i cant find anything in the Bios to enable it. It comes up with saying the Bios is not ACPI compatable, i have tried looking in the bios but i cannot find anything.
When XP is installing, you can press F5 to select ACPI but i cant, just STANDARD PC.
In the power management bit in xp[COLOR=#0072BC ! important][COLOR=#0072BC ! important][/COLOR][/COLOR] there is no opition to turn it on.
Does anyone have a clue how to get it running? Or is the laptop duff?
Have tried what seems everything on google, upgraded, downgraded the bios. In device manager[COLOR=#0072BC ! important][COLOR=#0072BC ! important][/COLOR][/COLOR] it just has Standard PC with no Options.
The laptop [COLOR=#0072BC ! important][COLOR=#0072BC ! important][/COLOR][/COLOR]doesnt even think it has a battery in it, even though its running off one.
