    standard pc... acpi??

    no idea what acpi stands for, but since i reinstalled Windows 2003 in device manager my computer is now showing as a 'Standard PC', rather than the ACPI which it *should* be.. as a result of this when i choose shutdown, it tells me that 'it is now safe to turn off your computer'

    is there a way to get it to realise its got ACPI support (or whatever the definition is), rather than being a piece of crap? without reinstalling a third time...

    You could have just updated the driver - Lets you select ACPI as a driver.

    If it's like 2000 you can enable it through power options... sometimes.

    Seeing as though you've done it now, just bear this in mind in case there's a "next time."
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
