Hi Update,
I did a complete rebuild as when removed SP3 still had errors. Installed XP
sp2 from cd and only loaded drivers needed for motherboard and Kaspersky
update wanted to install SP3 did and got ACPI error again will try to update
the drivers on Machine and see if I can get rid of the error. If I use F8 and
stop restart on failure all works fine.
