No Suspend option in Win2K?

[Angrymarshmello]

I'm assuming there is a Suspend option of some sort in Win2K. I find it more practical than say, hibernating. I used to use it all the time in 98SE on this same computer. I formatted last night and installed Win2K. To my horror, there was no suspend option. I haven't changed anything in my BIOS power management options since the format, but for reference, the pics of my BIOS setup are:

In my Win2K control panel --> power options, there is no Suspend option, the closest thing is Advanced Power Management, which I turned on but it didn't work. ANyone have an idea why? Thanks in advance! (BTW, sorry about the size of those pics)

So, you are talking about save to RAM rather than save to disk?

The answer is yes - there is. Why it didn't show up is kinda easy. Turn off the Controlled by APM (in the third pic) and see if that changes things more to your liking. I hope that's right so I don't look like a fool. Anyhow, hopefully Win2k will notice that your BIOS has changed and then reconfigure Power Management to use ACPI rather than the aged APM.

Good luck!

I turned that off, still doesn't work. I havent changed a thing in the BIOS since the format, so it really frustrates me as to why this won't work in Win2K but it will in Win98SE. Any other ideas?

There is a suspend option in Win2K. Unfortunately, the only way to have it is if your running Win2K in ACPI mode, not APM.
