This is a discussion about What date is shown for your... in the Windows Hardware category; What date and version are shown in device manager for your ACPI? I am just doing a comparison, cause I think there is something wrong somewhere in my system. Date: 11/14/1999 Version: 5. 0. 2183. 1 I was told I should either have a tab for ACPI or APM under my power options in control panel.

I was told I should either have a tab for ACPI or APM under my power options in control panel. I have neither. My computer is a work computer and isn't really that old. It's a Dell Dimension 933r PIII.
 
I was told that my system not shutting down or restarting (Just freezes after saving settings) was probably tied in with ACPI. Is there maybe a newer driver for this I just don't have? I remember being told ACPI can only be installed during a fresh OS install. True?
 
Thanks

This is exactly what my Win2k is showing.

Mine doesn't have those tabs either. I only have "Power Schemes", "Advanced", "Hibernate", and "UPS".

I'm not sure what's wrong with your computer, but at least I can verify that it's not the things you listed above. My computer is the same in those respects and I have no problems. Are you running ServicePack 4? Have you kept up with Windows Update?

That version looks like Windows Server 2003...yes?

The shutdown problem has been present since SP3 hit. I have done a complete re-install of Win2k but as soon as I install SP3 it starts freezing on shutdown. Oh well, I'll keep researching it.

And yes I keep up-to-date with Windows updates.

Same here, Windows 2000 Professional, SP4, and latest hotfixes.
