This files are all for XP SP2 bit64.

You tell, that you installed XP x86 32bit.

Make a try with a normal XP SP3 install, choosing Ramseys XP

Dietmar

I did so. Installed win xp Ramseys. A problem arose, the usb port does not work. When installing drivers, I get a blue screen. I thought maybe the problem would be solved by replacing acpi. Thank you.

@Dietmar
Whats the latest 32-bit? And are there also mainboard specific ACPI.sys files?

I build some special acpi.sys for crazy notebooks.

But most they work only on one or 2 different laptops.

So, until now the acpi.sys that you have is still the best for Desktop compis

And to add to the XP acpi v2.0 , i believe we have a working modded acpi v2.0 on Win2000😃 Booted to setup with ACPI on i3 9100f and gigabyte b365m ds3h !!

I have a Thai friend in the Retro Computer group (Facebook) who saw me using Windows XP comfortably by myself, 
but his desire to try

i always find this discussion kinda interesting
but actually i cant speac with the guys here because i simply dont know the details around it
and lack the toolz to see into that specific stuff 

but it keeps going like there has to be a extra driver that exactly fits only for this purpose

shouldnt there be a possible solution when the others operating systems like 7 10 ect. do ?
what exactly is problem?

@Dietmar

Could you upload the latest ACPI.sys file again to make sure that I have the latest one. It would also be a good to upload these specific ACPI.sys files and put them into separate folders with the name of the motherboard or laptop. This would make things less confusing.

This is my last working acpi.sys for XP SP3, bit32.

I modded such a lot of other acpi.sys, but they are always very special for ONE Bsod.

This acpi.sys above will work for nearly all desktop pcs from 1999 to 2025 for XP.

But for newer notebooks (starting from 2015) there are a lot of different hurdles, mostly in the underlying DSDT for its graphic card

Hi Dietmar,

I've ported acpi.sys 7777 to now work with windows 2000 - can you apply all the hacks that you've applied to the XP version to this one too?

@Damnation

Oh nice, how did you achieve this?

Do you change something in the Source Tables from XP SP1 via @Mov AX, 0xDEAD ?

I changed soso much in my last acpi.sys, I cant remember all.

When you get a special Bsod, I can look for this

@Dietmar

A few edits had to be made.

Used -DWIN2K_COMPAT_SLIST_USAGE=1 switch when compiling.

Stubbed HeadlessDispatch.

Had acpi driver do ExInterlockedCompareExchange64 internally.

Commented out HaliIsVectorValid where present.

Needed to pass procinit explicitly to HalAcpiMachineStateInit in NotifyHalWithMachineStates.

He changed his mind to install x86 instead, but I don't understand the problem that
After installing the sound driver
It causes this BSOD.

So everything worked fine up until the sound driver was installed?
