Default WME switches

It seemed to insinuate that to get a proper ACPI install that you
needed to install using switch.


No, not at all, try reading it again. You only need to use the switch IF
your bios was originally not ACPI compliant and has since been updated to
an ACPI compliant version.

99.9999999% of users do not need to use that switch. Those that do are
primarily those using 1995 vintage motherboards that have since updated
their bios to being ACPI compliant.

No problems in this area, I'm guessing. I was snooping on the CD and
came across that readme.
It seemed to insinuate that to get a proper ACPI install that you
needed to install using switch. Curious, I ran the file as it seemed
to direct. Apparently MS got it wrong, in that they did not put the
install executable on the CD, but the one you mention. Created folder
that it claimed the install would create and copied file to it. It
ran without errors, after going to bios and turning S3 features on.

I guess I have a question as to whether WME installs correctly
without using the switch and/or running that file first. Especially
in my case where the default bios has those S3 features turned off.
RAM and USB awake from S3.
