Troubleshooting Tips
There are a few common situations in which difficulty with these products under Windows XP may be encountered. Please check into these issues prior to contacting Intel Technical Support:
- Lack of proper system BIOS support for Windows XP. Check with your computer manufacturer for information on possible system BIOS upgrades or other modifications that may be required in order for Windows XP to run properly on your computer.
- Lack of support for ACPI power management. Check with your computer manufacturer for information about patches or changes that may be required to fully support ACPI.
- Lack of available resources (especially free interrupts) to support additional hardware. Some computers may be configured so that all available resources are already in use. In such cases disabling certain embedded devices in the system BIOS (such as Infra-red ports or other serial devices) may free up.
