I have been advised by creamware support that having my PC configured as ACPI can cause problems with Creamware cards, and may explain problems i have been experiencing, but i cant work out how to change the setting..

Having found the ACPI setting in Device Manager - Computer device, i have been told that i need to install the Standard PC driver from the Windows XP CD. However, the directory structure on this CD gives no clues as to location of driver files, and choosing an automatic install but directing the wizard to the CD does not result in any other 'better' drivers being found, presumably becuase the Wizard thinks that the ACPI driver is the best one. Has anyone any expereince of changing this setting and how to do it?

Have you already tried different pci slots?

Sometimes just changing the location will work wonders.

I run with ACPI on in XP with SP2, works just fine.
