disable ACPI and you will be able to change them.

you have 3 choices to change the procedure acpi

1-go to bios and disable it...........
2-during the winxp pro setup.........hit F5 (correct me if i'm wrong), and choose "standard "..............
3-go to the safemode, go to device manager, see computer under device manager?...double click on it......and choose "update driver"...........and choose " standard".............and windows will ask you to restart the computer

by doing that, your computer will re-config everything ........don't try this at NORMAL MODE......try it at the SAFEMOD......it works

and your IRQ will be re-arranged..after choosing STANDARD.......if you choose this thing, you will not be able to use hibernate or standby feature in windows xp pro.........this is a default setting in microsoft when you choose ACPI........

good luck
