I was wondering , is there a way to update the driver that Windows 98 SE installed for APM, because when i go to add new hardware, windows says that the device is either not present, not available, or not functioning properly, i need a driver so i can have APM.
specs: Windows 98 SE
64 MB ram
2 GB HD

Advanced Power Management (APM) does not work properly in Windows 98. Not even in Win98SE.

Check your system's BIOS to see if APM is properly enabled and configured (this is the most likely cure for an APM that isn't properly configured):

• Enter your computer's BIOS setup (press DEL or ESC or something like that just after turning on your system, and your computer is counting through your memory). Contact your computer's manufacuter or refer to your computer's documentation for details specific to your computer.
• Turn the main APM option to Enable or On.
• Important: Set all the lesser APM-related options (such as hard disk timouts and the monitoring of ports) to disable or off. This ensures that Windows is in control of all the APM options, and your BIOS settings don't interfere or conflict with your Windows APM preferences.

Then try setting these power-saving preferences in Windows:

• Double-click the Power Management icon (called Power or Power Options in some versions of Windows) in Control Panel. If it isn't there, your computer isn't properly set up - see BIOS notes, above.
• Choose the options that best suit your needs, and click Ok when you're done.
