Hello, Actually, the article does explain how to find out which HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) is installed. To quote, "To see which HAL is currently installed, open Device Manager, and expand the Computer branch. The entry that appears in this branch corresponds to the currently installed HAL." For more information, see:

http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article07-100

If the reported computer type doesn't match your computer type, you can change it according to the instructions. However, you shouldn't follow this procedure on a whim; only do it if you're trying to solve a problem or trying to add APM (Advanced Power Management) to Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
