ACPI

[mole]

Looking to download a ACPI driver for a Phoenix. Can anyone help. Computer is Dell Dimension 5150C. Thank you.

the acpi driver is part of your main motherboard chipset have you loaded the main chipset drivers ?

if not all downloads for that dell can be found here.

Phoenix are the people that made the bios chip in that desktop but intel are the peopel that made the main chipset.

Thanks Davey6; sorry 2 say that I try that & does not work. Download & installed all Drivers from Dell already. So what is the next opion?

PS: Use to live in Thamesmead years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what problems are you facing with the acpi controls ?

does xp list any problems in device manager.
will need as much info as you can so i can pin down the problem.
now if my memory is working xp did have problems with some acpi bios controls when it first came out.
service pack 1 sorted those problems , so if you running a very early version of xp please load up sp1 then sp2 then sp3
that should slove any problems between windows and the bios controls.
Thamesmead now theres a name i have not heard for a while

i spent most of my time in tenerife now. one of these days i just won't go back to the uk at all.
life is so much better out of london don't you think ?
