Windows Vista: ACPI power stardard
ACPI power stardard
by iburkhart13 - 2/6/07 5:12 PMI can not install vista on my Compaq Persario 2200 because it comes up with the error of
"This computer is not compliant with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) standard. Windows must be installed onto a computer that supports ACPI. COntact your computer manufacturer for a BIOS update or install Windows on a ACPI-compliant somputer."
Is there any way around this??
What BIOS update should I use??
Thanks in advanced,
Ian B.
P.S. I am trying to install Windows Vista Business
(NT) MORE HELP STILL NEEDED

Assuming it's the Laptop:
Is windows still installed at all on this, and is it bootable? If so, you can go to HP.com and download the latest BIOS update (runs from within Windows). If not, then you will hae to download the update and a flash program, and boot from a floppy to update the BIOS.
Upgraded but no luck

P.s
I am using the Presario 220 laptop
