MOTHERBOARDS: Asus P2B-F. Causes a shutdown problem because Win XP Setup
doesn't enable ACPI by default. SOLUTION: Manually enable ACPI during a Win
XP install or reinstall. Correspondent Bill Anderson (based on a solution by
"Willy") gave a lengthy description of how to do this (edited a little bit
for space reasons):
1.. Boot the computer from the Win XP CD-ROM.
2.. Win XP Setup says it's checking hardware. Soon after, at the bottom of
the screen, it offers the opportunity to press F5. (If offered the chance to
press F6, press F5 instead! - Tip from Mick Stone) Do this at once, and
cross your fingers! [Various users report difficulty with this. Apparently,
sometimes it works; sometimes not. It may be in the timing of exactly when
you press the key. You may have to try repeatedly, or try pressing F5 and F6
repeatedly. - JAE] When successful, you'll see a two-paragraph instruction
that begins, "To specify additional SCSI or other mass storage devices."
Press <ENTER> to brings up a small window that appears to contain only two
options, but, in fact, contains more (use the arrow keys to scroll up). If
this windows doesn't appear at this point, you need to start over and do
more pressing of F5!
3.. When the small window does appear, use the up-arrow to choose
"Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)." (It's the third from
the top of the list.)
4.. Next, you may see that two-paragraph SCSI/mass storage instruction
again. If so, press <ENTER>. Many drivers will load, then you should see the
Win XP installation screen. If you are running this after Win XP is already
installed, choose the Repair option.
