Thanks for the advice. I got it to work by following your post, but in a slightly different way. My system is set up so I couldn't boot from the CD-Rom drive (it's on a SIIG IDE-133 PCI card). Anyway, all I did was boot into my regular XP installation, put the XP CD in the drive, go to Start -> Run and type CMD. Hit OK and then type the following: EXPAND D:\I386\HALACPI.DL_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\HAL.DLL It should let you do this. Then, just reboot your system and ACPI should come back to you. With my system, it gave me both ACPI and Standard PC in the Manage Computer screen. All I had to do was to Uninstall StandardPC, reboot, and all was fine. Lauren
