Ahh..
One thing you can do.. Install the proper chipset drivers. Sure, they're for XP, but they work well with 7. Just make sure you set the Compatibility mode to XP.
I'm doing it with my Thinkpad R40 and Qosmio E15-AV101, both have i855 chipsets. It makes them run a bit better.
People How many of you can install Win7 on such old computers like with 512mb ram and lower specs...
When i'm trying to install in it on my 6 years old computer it says that i dont have ACPI-compliant computer...
How can I come over this error to install win7? 'Cause my Motherboard is ACPI-compliant, but version 1.0b..
thanks for all..
I have a Dell in the house that's getting a 1.0 on WEI. Still sruns just about as good as XP
I do agree that Windows 7 is a lot better on old computers.
septprince,
I have the latest BIOS version available for my computer.
And the installation halts on ACPI-non compliant commputer..
What can i do ?
What kind of system is this? If this is a custom build, what's the motherboard manufacturer and model?
Also, some systems allow you to disable ACPI (I don't have a clue why). Dig through your BIOS and see if it does.
septprince,
Ok.. i'm trying now to update the bios version.. it seem that there is one newer that was on my mb.
Simba7,
Motherboard ECS P4S5MG/GL+ Rev:7.0
P.S: And how could you install windows XP if there was no option to disable ACPI ?
of cource i have enabled it before installinf 7..
p.S2: i'm afraid of updating bios cause if something goes wrong i will end up with broken pc..
Ok..
I have updated the bios to the latesst version (Release 28/10/2003)
Then loaded default setting in bios.
Then tried to install windows 7 again.. and// again it showed me the ACPI-error !
I don't know what to do anymore.. i'm tired..
What can i do to make this wtupid setup install on my computer?
