Event Type: Error

Event Source: ACPI

Description:

AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to create an illegal memory OpRegion, starting at address 0x4e3, with a length of 0x2. This region lies in the Operating system's protected memory address range (0x0 - 0x9fc00). This could lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance.

I have the same error message - haven't noticed anything nasty happen (crashes) though it is somewhat irritating.

I've been getting this as well. It occurs after installing certain programs (Java VM 5.2 update, Diablo II.) It is preventing my computer from shutting down or restarting. So it is a bit annoying. I haven't found a workaround, yet.

You can always change that darn kernel to MPS. The ACPI aint so champ in XP yet but I love it despite this. -Aaron

I had these same errors too, but they are gone after i updated the BIOS.

The errors went away with newer version of winxp that I had back then or when I updated my bios...can´t remember what I did

Try to change the computer type from ACPI to Standard PC, or disable Plug and Play OS in the BIOS.
