Advanced Power Management

My Compaq laptop is having standbye issues (as I pressed the never again go on
standbye button) after a restart. I wanted to get my compute to go on standbye
again so I was advised in another newsgroup to delete the Advanced Power
Management from the device manager and upon reboot Windows would install it
again. Well I did delete it, but Windows did not prompt me to install it
again, and know my problem is more severe.

So to fix the issues I reinstalled Windows 98, but it appears the problem was
not resolved. I cannot enter standbye mode (unless I reboot with all startup
items disabled). Neither do I see the Advanced Power Management in the Device
Manager, and also I know get Invalid Page faults from Explorer everytime I
reboot,so the only way I was able to safely reboot is with all startup items
disabled.

What can I do?

"If Advanced Power Management was not listed in Device Manager or once =
removed was not reinstalled after rebooting the computer click Start / =
Settings / Control Panel / double click on Add new hardware, and let =
Windows detect and install new hardware (should detect and install =
Advanced Power Management support). If Windows does not detect Advanced =
Power Management support verify in CMOS that Power Management is =
Enabled."

Please provide the exact error messages you are getting Explorer, =
and when they appear. If you get an "illegal operation" error message, =
click the "Details" button, and post back with the exact details word =
for word, up to but not including the memory registers.

To help narrow down the problem do a clean boot and then slowly add back =
items to the startup, till the problem returns, per this article:
