You are trying to make the Hibernation option available on your laptop computer. A technician had suggested a BIOS update to enable this option and you have now updated your BIOS. After the update, a STOP error is displayed every time you attempt to restart the computer. How should you fix this problem?
Explanation
Answer - B - To fix this problem, you should re-install Windows XP Professional. During the install you should install ACPI, too.
Key Takeaway: The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification is an open standard for unified operating-system-centric device configuration and power management. It is an attempt to consolidate and improve upon existing power and configuration standards for hardware devices. Unfortunately, XP doesn't always recognize a computer BIOS is ACPI capable and doesn't install the support for ACPI. Additionally, if ACPI support is not installed during the initial installation, it cannot be done without a reinstall. Once you drop the CD in the CD-ROM drive and start installing XP, you should press F5. This will take you to a separate menu of Hardware Abstraction Layers where you can choose an appropriate HAL that supports ACPI.
