Guest Will Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 I have Windows 2000 server running as a virtual machine and device manager is showing the computer device running ACPI Multiprocessor and everything works fine. A nearly identical Windows 2000 server is running in identical virtual machine but device manager is showing the computer device running MPS Uniprocessor. Any time I attempt to upgrade the device driver to run ACPI, the system blue screens on the next reboot. What is the trick to convert from MPS to ACPI assuming you are starting off with Windows 2000 running MPS? -- Will
