Acpi på HP NX9420

hvilken bios version har den ? (burde du kunne se i bios eller ved POST)?

Den hedder F. 12

21. juni 2006

Jeg har lige opdateret til F.19 14 dec. 2006, men stadig samme melding når jeg prøver at opgradere til Vista i Windows.

Nogen idéer?

** ... melding når jeg prøver at opgradere til Vista i Windows XP

Ingen forslag?

ikke lige umiddelbart desværre (er tidligere rene-petersen)

Må lukke så. :) Tak for det alligevel. ;)

lidt sent men:
ACPI er enabled default, jeg har søgt lidt rundt på nettet.
F.19, går ud fra at du har læst release notes: Support af vista tilføjet.
Der ligger også drivere til Vista.
Søgt på microsoft.dk, og der er 4 hits på Vista og nx9420, men andre problemer, så de har fået installeret.
Fandt dette:
I've tried to install every version (Ultimate, Business, Enterprise, Home Premium but not Basic) of Vista RTM on my Gateway Laptop Model: Gateway M350E (WVN) and continue to get the same error message:

A problem has been detected and window has been shut down to prevent damage to you computer

this BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please contact your system vendor for updated BIOS.

I have the latest BIOS, drivers, everything; but Vista will not install.

I found the same message occurs with XP on some machines.  A work around for XP is described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314830/ but I have not tried what they have described with Vista and from reading the article, I do not think it applies to Vista because it is my understanding that Vista does not use HAL that is used on XP to work around the ACPI compliance problem.

The hardware manufacturers and Microsoft need to fix these problems.  The average Joe will never understand paying $350 for an operating system that will not install.  They have (nearly) always installed before, why not now?  I can't stand the thought of buying a MAC but I'm starting to think it might be an actual alternative if the manufacturers and software companies continue to write software that is designed to sell new computers, new versions of software instead of always giving us backward compatibility for the use of the computer systems that we already have.  These computers that I am having difficulties with are just 2 and 3 years old.  My gosh man; they ought to be compliant with anything that Microsoft releases.  So do we have to hope that a first Service Pack for Vista will have a resolution to this problem or will it ever be solved?  Should we throw away our new computers just so that we can see Aero in Vista?  I don't think so.  I think that Microsoft can do better than this.
