ACPI in Win2k: Enable after install?

[spoogenet]

Is there any way to get ACPI enabled in Win2k after installing, without re-instlaling?

See, when I installed Win2k, not knowing a whole lot about ACPI, I had it disabled in my BIOS. Now, I have it enabled (not that it does me any good right now) and would like it enabled in Win2k, but won't be able to really do a new install until X-mas.

thanks a lot,

To sum it up, you have to reinstall win2k. It´s easy to switch from a ACPI instalation to a non-ACPI, but not otherwise.

Back it up, go to device manager and change "computer" from standard pc to ACPI pc. You probably won´t be able to boot, but reinstalling is always fun
