emachines 533i & WINXP; BIOS Not ACPI Compliant

Hello, has anyone experienced getting the "ok to turn off Computer" screen instead of the computer shutting off by itself after installing WINXP??

I updated the bios to flotg200 and added 2 sticks of 128 meg ram and upgraded the harddrive to a 20gig drive.

Under Win98 the bios is ACPI Compliant, however under WinXP it gives the above screen message.

Has anyone had a similar problem??

Regards.
Frank

Maybe when you updated the BIOS, the settings changed.

Cast in the name of God, Ye not guilty.
Start -> Settings -> Control Pannel -> Power Options -> Click APM Tab -> Check the box next to "Enable Advanced Power Managment support."

If that doesn't work or doesn't show up double check and make sure that ACPI is enabled in the bios.
