I just changed my win2k box from ACPI to Standard PC.

Now the thing doesn't shut off automatically. I remember doing this once before and I know there are a couple of settings that need to be changed. Can someone clue me in?

From SharkB8:

To install the APM driver, Open up Device manager...
Go to view... show hidden devices.
Open Non-Plug and Play Devices... Find Microsoft ACPI Driver... DON?T disable or uninstall because that doesn?t work.
Go into Properties... then driver....
there is a pull down menu to tell windows when to start this driver...
Set it Disabled.... and then reboot
Now go back into it.... the driver will still be there and that?s ok... go back into properties and where it says status make sure it says Unavailable.
After that you need to install a new driver... manually by using ?Add/Remove Hardware?.
Go in and add NT APM/Legacy Support...
It will install something called NT APM/Legacy Interface Node....
Reboot and everything should be all good.

Thanks. I'm sure this will work.
