    hi there Mr_Miyagi ,,,a lot of people have asked this one (inc myself)

    I think you will find answer based around power management , in windows and in bios ,

    also on 2k (if all else fails) ,,,if u have a Gforce card , untick gforce help (in services)

    have a look around APM , if enabled ,disable ,,and visa versa

    good luck

    Agreed!
    Go to the Control Panel and select APM enable. It should work now.

    so, ENABLE apm in control panel..???? as a reflex i disable this damnation from hell in bios/cp for every pc i have had. i take it that w2k is slightly different in this respect. I'll try it and report back.

    thanks for the help!!
