| | Can't install RC - non-ACPI When I try to install RC, I get the message This computer is not compliant with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) standard. Windows must be installed onto a computer that supports ACPI. However this is a relatively new computer whcih is ACPI compliant, at least according to the BIOS screens. What am I missing? When I run the Win 7 compatibility test it says that my machine is ok. |

| | I have seen this issue before. Turned out to be related to the video card. However, this was on an Xp machine. This link is for Vista, but you may want to check it out as well The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Is your BIOS up to date? Hope this helps Scott |

| | Machine is only 1 year old and originally came with Vista installed (I downgraded to XP), so it's Vista compatible. |

I understand that, however the same fix may work with windows 7, just a suggestion. However, I would see what upgrading the BIOS does for you. Hope this helps Scott |

Ah, I figured that, since I couldnt find an AM3100. Might want to adjust your system specs. Why not try the link for the same problem in vista i gave you. Couldn't hurt. Hope this helps Scott |
