i did and started having a rebooting issue. then i uninstalled them individually, then reinstalled them individually and i havent had a problem yet.... so far i should say.

Make a new hardwareconfiguration, and u will have two. In one ofe them change driver "acpi" to "standard pc" reeboot have in mind that u maybe have to install all your drivers again

This is due to a driver conflict, most likely. My Philip Seismic Edge caused the same thing. Does your sound card have XP drivers, or are you using 2000 drivers for it? It may also be your Voodoo5 if you are using some of the hacked drivers. Unfortunately, the only way I could fix it was to do a System Restore back to the install restore point. I've since re-installed and haven't had problems. Of course, I'm stuck with using onboard sound for now until Philips releases some XP drivers.

I'm using MSI 6330v3 . I previously had that ACPI err in XP too. After up[censored] the drivers from 3.0 to 3.1, it solved the problem. The err msg doesn't exist anymore.
