hi sandro,
maybe you overlooked this
by marcuspocus in CW Forum:
ACPI stands for 'Advanced Computer Power Interface' ... ... The ACPI directly cause the 'copy protection' thing. When you start installation of W2K or XP, just when you boot from CD at the very begening of the installation, it show on the bottom of the screen 'F6 - install other SCSI device', this is WHEN you hit F5 or F7 or F8, (i just never remember which one, so i hit them all!), then it will bring you to a new screen asking you about PC type. It's there that you chose Standard PC instead of ACPI PC.
The big difference, is that using ACPI, it will put ALL your devices on the same IRQ9. Using standard PC, your devices will each have their own IRQ.... That why!

Hi Sandrob !
What's your MOBO ?

marcuspocus · Post by **marcuspocus** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 3:38 pm

FYI, you have to make this choice of Standard PC right from the install stage... Even if you can change it later, it seem Windows doesn't like this at all...

If you haven't done so right from start, i strongly suggest you reinstall from scratch (format!)

sandrob · Post by **sandrob** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 3:48 pm

my mobo is p4t-e!

when i instal xp i choose Standard PC with C-Step i486 i was able to choose others too!
what is i486!?! chipset or what?!?
my chipset is i850!! maybe i must do this drivers update?! i try from p4t-e instalation disk but i don't have same options like in win98?!
i will download from internet and try to update.
sorry about this beginers question! i see xp first time jesterday.

sandrob · Post by **sandrob** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 5:15 pm

i can't solve this!!
i do instal from formated disk.
choose standard pc with c-step i486
download from intrenet all drivers and update (geforce2, i850 drivers, ultra ata storage drivers, monitor drivers, isdn...)
enable nt apm/legacy support...
is it everything ok here? do i need all this drivers?

You could disable the MPU. If you don't use the joystick port as midi port.

Check IRQ's in Device Manager -> View -> Resources by type...

marcuspocus · Post by **marcuspocus** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 7:34 pm

It's NOT 'standard pc with c-step i486' but really 'standard pc' alone... Check this...

Immanuel · Post by **Immanuel** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 7:45 pm

Check what?

sandrob · Post by **sandrob** » Fri Mar 15, 2002 1:32 am

1. please, marcuspocus, how to set "standard pc"?! i don't see this option!? if i choose "others" they ask me to put disk in flopy!? what disk?!
2. i don't need games, joystick, "xp-synth"... just pulsar2!! can i disable all others (like in win98)?!?!
3. this is my sharing. for me looks good?!

sandrob · Post by **sandrob** » Fri Mar 15, 2002 1:47 am

When I installed the standard PC driver in winXP (it IS certified), I could not boot into windows anymore - not even in failsafe mode.

sandrob · Post by **sandrob** » Fri Mar 15, 2002 7:19 am

maybe you do some other mistake?! take look here.
i hope that i set everything ok, but can't solve this. now i think to go on win98 again, change video card, even sale pulsar because i had too much problems in last 2 years - too much frustration.
i want make music and walk on the sun - don't spend time and time alone between 4 walls trying to solve problems, problems and problems!!

I can't help your exact problem, but I feel your anger and madness ! I've had all sorts of technical problems (like everyone) and sometimes I think "I've tried everything".

My girlfriend several times has said "forget it, come for a walk". Or to sleep on it.

This is my suggestion. Leave it day. Let your brain bubble away by itself while you unwind. Often a solution then comes fast, something you hadn't thought of before.

So get out. Relax for a day. Think of something else. Then maybe the answer will come. Let your subconscious do some work !

OK, you may laugh, but seriously, this has worked for me many times....

sandrob · Post by **sandrob** » Fri Mar 15, 2002 7:48 am

good morning, australia!
thanks, spirit, for your kind words

you have right but i'm opsesed - can't think about anything else till i solve this.
????????????????????????????????????

Just a thought.

In control panel/system/advanced/advanced
change adjust for best performance from program to background background services.

Hope this helps.
