   The following Websites offer trial and downloadable versions of W2000 compatible DVD software that may work.
   PowerDVD 2.5 - www.cyberlink.com.tw
   WinDVD 2000 - www.intervideo.com
3. ACPI
   If you are experiencing problems with Hibernate or Power Management you may need to reinstall ACPI. Unfortunately this process can be time consuming. ACPI must be available for ACPI compliant software to install and utilize ACPI. Therefore, Reinstalling ACPI requires removing those applications and then re-installing them after ACPI is installed and functioning. Because of the difficulty required reconfiguring a system, you might consider starting the W2000 setup process over from the beginning.
   Reinstalling ACPI:
