Thanx a lot!

Hi,

OK, try this:

From the start menu, click

Settings -> Control Panel -> Power Options -> APM tab -> check "enable advanced power management support"

That should fix your problem.

Thanks for asking and also for the answer....I have a spare that sits for long periods of time and I had to do a reinstall and for some reason that was NOT enabled. It was getting aggravating having to push the button.

Oh by the way the one I am using is Win2000 and it is the exact same.

@Rudi1...You may be unhappy with the 400 and XP, I have a slightly overclocked 466 with 512 ram and it is somewhat slow with win2000 in compared to what I have been using. Athough Xp is somewhat easier to configure and appears faster on some machines.

Not everyone has this option.

But still here is the best way for everyone:
