Yikes! Installing Win98SE over itself sounds too scary.

I'm using VIA's 4-in-1 (v4.37) drivers.

I just tried the Add New Hardware wizard:
- auto hardware detection did not find any new hardware
- manual "system device" selection method did not list
"Advanced Power Management support"

Also, the Asus A7V133 User's Manual says the following:
"IMPORTANT: Advanced Power Management (APM) should be
installed to keep the system time updated when the computer
enters suspend mode activated by the BIOS Power Management.
For DOS environments, you need to add the statement,
DEVICE=C:\DOS\POWER.EXE, to your CONFIG.SYS file.
For Windows 3.x and Windows 95, you need to install Windows
with the APM feature. For Windows 98 and later, APM is
automatically installed. A battery and power cord icon labeled
"Power Management" will appear in the "Control Panel." Choose
"Advanced" in the Power Management Properties dialog box."

So, apparently, APM is already installed in my case but
there is no listing of "Advanced Power Management support" under
"System devices" in "Device Manager".

Also, comparing the Power Management Properties dialog of
the two HDD/partition, I noticed that the "Advanced" tab is missing
the "Prompt for password when computer goes off standby" checkbox.
And, the "Power Schemes" tab is missing the "System standby" dropdown list in
the "Settings for Always On power scheme" section.

Is it possible that installing standby-related stuff may trigger
the addition of "Advanced Power Management support" under
"System devices" in "Device Manager".

Possibly but you can also do a correct repair over-install as per,

That should fix it but remember them to clean the Registry,
