Some Power Management Settings Do Not Migrate During Upgrade to Windows XP (282788)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
  • Microsoft Windows XP Professional
This article was previously published under Q282788

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.
