ACPI question for Win 2K

[Snickers]

I recently shut off the ACPI function in Win 2K thinking it might help to get better benchmarks and less crashes. So far so good on both acconts.

My question is how can I get the PC to turn off when I tell it to shut down rather than waiting for it to tell me "Its okay to shut down now" and then pressing the power button?

I am running Win 2K on an Abit KT7 board and need to know if I should reinstall ACPI in windows or if there is a setting in the bios to turn on the APM so it will still shut down properly.

Thanks

I believe that function is disabled if you disable ACPI. I haven't had any probs with ACPI, so if I were you, I'd just re-enable it.
