ACPI Power Button shows up twice
In Device Manager, under System Devices, "ACPI Power Button" shows up
twice, one after the other. Can it have always been like that w/o my noticing? They both claim to be working properly. The first has no driver & says it doesn't need one. The second is using... C:\Windows\System\ACPI.sys C:\Windows\System\VMM32.vxd (ntkern.vxd) ....in this Win98SE machine. I've tried removing both buttons in Safe Mode & rebooting to Normal Mode -- but both came back! -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, Should things get worse after this, PCR

Maybe one on the computer housing and the other on the keyboard?

I've only got one of those -- and one ''ACPI System Button''. Sorry to trouble you and Hot-Text over that. And thanks anyway.
