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".

The procedure for adding Advanced Power Management support in Device Manager is to
use the Add New Hardware wizard to search for new hardware, and if it detects APM
support, to allow it to install, and then reboot. However, you may not be able to
detect it without installing the drivers on motherboard disc. What VIA drivers
version number did you install? Have you tried other versions from the VIA support
web site?

Mis-quoted? No, "Advanced Power Management support" is
an item under "System devices" in "Device Manager".



For ACPI to function correctly all hardware devices on the system must
be ACPI compliant including the mother board.

Their correct drivers must be correctly installed and the Windows

Software ACPI must be installed e.g the Advanced Power Management
Support as you post above.


"Advanced Power Management support" is what I'm trying to
find out how to install without depending on hardware detection since
all the hardware is already there.



If the option is there in the BIOS to enable/disable
ACPI it must be enabled.Many Modern systems either have it hidden and
set by default to,"On".


Hmmm ... will I be able to enable ACPI without getting ACPI BIOS?
If not, then I will be "back to square one" like you said.
And, I don't want that.



You may also need to re-install motherboard/mother board chip set
drivers pack/s.


Oh-no, trying to install VIA's 4-in-1 drivers caused the dreaded message:
"Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer."
After which, I can only boot into Safe mode but not into Normal mode.


As for talk of,"Partitions" you are now confusing me :/


I use the BIOS to select the HDD (and thus, the boot partition) used for
the boot process. By "HDD/partition", I mean the HDD (and thus,
the boot partition) used to boot the system.

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

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

Usually, when the Stand-by options are missing it indicates that the machine does
not support stand-by mode, but you indicate that one of the two operating systems on
the same machine does have the settings, so that does not appear to be the case
here.

One of the two operating systems came from an old system.
The motherboard was upgraded but the "Suspend mode" was
never enabled in the BIOS. I think this might explain why
the Standby options are missing.

I'll try enabling "Suspend mode" later to see if
- "Advanced Power Management support" will be installed
- the Standby options will appear

If Adam's main problem is that the clock gets
messed up in "suspend" mode, then another
less elegant solution is to get rid of
suspend mode. If I'm doing something
that must not be interrupted, like burning
a data CD ROM, I classify "suspend" as being
much like screen savers, more naughty
than nice if you burn CDs.

Does the software shut down actually
(well, mostly) power off the computer?
(Isn't that the "bare bones" of APM?)
Is this part actually NOT working?

Sure, the power management that powers down
the hard disk, etc. might be nice for
some applications...

It sounds like Adam has two boot partitions,
and one boots with APM and the other boots
without it. How could two installs of W98
from the very same install CD disk on the
very same machine give you such differences?
(Was APM disabled in BIOS for 2nd install?)

Were you trying to create a clean boot
with a relatively clean registry, or
did you consider CLONING the drive/partition?

I'm not pretending I have all the answers
but I hope my questions help lead to a
resolution.

I would tend to not discard Shep's idea
that Advanced Power Management is best
done by being detected during a full
windows install. If you really do find
a convenient way around that, I'd suspect
that Shep would be as glad as anybody
to learn a new trick.

Why you're getting two different installs
using two different drives(partitions)
on the very same system is a point to ponder.

The other way is just to go into the Device Mangler and change from
the Failsafe Default BIOS back to the Advanced Power Management BIOS
and windows will re-detect and install the correct components

I'm happy with the system now so I'll leave Win98SE over-install for
another time. As they say ... if it ain't broke ... don't fix it.

Thanks for your suggestions and web pages ... they were quite helpful,
especially http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/acpi.html

I had no intention of leaving Suspend mode enabled for
long ... just long enough to possibly trigger installation of
"Advanced Power Management support"

It's working ... just doing an investigative comparison of
two OS installations.

No-no, the two boot partitions were not installed from
the same CD. One HDD is from an old system that
contains old software that I still need once in a while.
I still have the MSDN disks for that system.


(Was APM disabled in BIOS for 2nd install?)


I don't recall.

No cloning ... see my response above.

Nothing to ponder really ... old software is
hard to let go of.
