ACPI-Enabled Laptop Prompts Twice for a Hardware Profile
The information in this article applies to: Microsoft Windows 98 Microsoft
Windows 98 Second Edition IMPORTANT: This article contains information
about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure youunderstand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about how
to do this, view the “Restoring the Registry” Help topic in Regedit.exe or
the “Restoring a Registry Key” Help topic in Regedt32.exe. SYMPTOMS When
you start a laptop computer that uses Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface (ACPI) power management, you may be prompted for a hardware
profile twice. If you create more than one hardware profile, and then
restart your computer, you may receive a message similar to: Windows cannot
determine what configuration your computer is in. Select one of the
following: Undocked Undocked2 None of the above You may then receive the
following error message on a blue screen titled “Dock Change”: Windows is
unable to determine your hardware profile. Is “Undocked” the current profile
Press Y for Yes or N for No CAUSE This problem occurs because the
computer’s BIOS supports both ACPI and Plug and Play. The real-mode boot
sequence detects the Plug and Play BIOS and prompts for the profile, and
then the protected-mode boot sequence detects ACPI support and displays a
blue screen requesting the profile again.
