SYMPTOMS
In a preinstalled installation of Microsoft Windows 98, standby functionality is available as part of basic power management. After you upgrade the operating system to Windows XP, the Enable Advanced Power Management check box is cleared, which means that the computer is unable to enter standby.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, you must manually reset the power management settings.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
The structure of Advanced Power Management (APM) support in Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, and Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) is significantly different from that in Microsoft Windows 2000, and Microsoft Windows XP. Because of these substantial differences, the APM settings do not migrate during the upgrade.
