Why Windows operating systems behave like this? [cmos settings] [acpi compliant]
Q: If Windows with ACPI disabled in the system BIOS CMOS settings, Windows will not be able to fully shut down the system. Instead, consider running a screen telling you: “It is now safe to turn off your machine.”
If you re-enable ACPI compatibility in the CMOS settings, Windows still does not ACPI-compliant system board.
Why see can see it I just delete all the devices of the system under the Device Manager and Windows re-recognize the board?
I am currently running Windows XP Professional, there is a way to “fix this without reinstalling Windows?

In this case it isnt, but often with windows it is…

Re:Because it's perfectly possible to boot an ACPI compliant board without ACPI, if you install the driver that doesn't support ACPI that's what you get. You can change the system driver from Standard PC to ACPI PC without a reinstall, usually.
Of course it's not as easy as it is with Linux, where I just pass the noacpi parameter to the kernel if I don't want ACPI =)
