Thanks. Yes I have. I wanted the W2K Power Saving stuff (I think the Utilities are not very useful). I found that one should install these files (the ACPI driver and the Power Saving, in that order with reboot in between and after), if possible, _immediately_ after installation of Win2K. I tried them out for the first time after having used Win2K a few months, and then they installed OK but there was no Power Saving stuff in the Control Panel, Power Savings applet. If you want you can have a look at my Libretto/Windows page, http://home.hccnet.nl/pr.nienhuis/Windows.html for more info. I got some tips there to shave unneeded services, disk space and to share _all_ software (yes, even IE6SP1, virus scanners, Media Player, Office stuff, you name it, and most importantly the swap file) between Win98 and Win2K, plus a few hacks which I expect to be perceived as a bit overdone by other people (but I am happy with them). Just wait a little while, I'll upload a revised page this evening (within a few hours). BTW there is a 4th file, w2kmobx1.exe, not on JGeraint's site, but mentioned on a Toshiba Canada Tecra support sheet, which may be useful too (I've never tried it though so I don't know what it does): The doc = TSB000666.HTM, start searching from http://209.167.114.38/support/, or follow the link from my Windows page.
