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 xphttp://www.sevenforums.com/# 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 managerhttp://www.sevenforums.com/# it just has Standard PC with no Options.
The laptop http://www.sevenforums.com/#doesnt even think it has a battery in it, even though its running off one.
