ok, ive got an old hp/compaq desktop dc5100 with windows xp, it wont boot up, trying to put windows 7 32 bit on it...after a while of installling windows 7, i get a nessage saying " the system is not full ACPI compliant - try updating your bios"...so how do i update the bios if the pc wont boot up in the first place ?. I ve downlaode the latest bios for my pc and its in the .exe fromat which i presume you run when the pc has booted up but i cannot do that, is their any alternative way to do it ?. I can get into the setup of my pc by pressing the F10 key but there is no option in there to update bios ?

trouble is after many attempts at installing windows xp again it, install all the files up to 97% then it pops up a message saying "cannot install some.dll file..i retry but it doesnt go any further..or if i choose to ignore it says windows xp may not run....and just hangs at that point...Comment

Let me guess you download some pirated version of windows 7 from a dodgy site, as thats normally the main cause of the error ACPI compliant error and not the BIOS
