TAKEN OFF WIN98SE PUT ON WIN XP PRO. WILL PUT MORE MEM ON SOON!!
PROBLEM: 1) No stanby option( greyed out) 2) Soundcard crackles and pops 3) Won't let me know install graphics driver says "unable to install, check process log. 4) error log say's: AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to write to an illegal IO port address (0xcf8), which lies in the 0xcf8 - 0xcff protected address range. This could lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance. 5) Graphics really slooooowwwwwwwwww!!! I have tried to update bios and 4 in 1 drivers.
Make sure all of those hardware are listed on the Hardware Compatibility List on Microsoft's website and if they are, make sure you have the latest drivers by the manufacturers of the devices.
