recommendation:<br />
<br />
Due to problems/conflicts between hardware APM and Windows APM, I would recommend this:<br />
<br />
In CMOS, enable power management but disable all subcomponents. &nbsp;Use the PM features in Windows to control all PM. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I'm sure some will disagree but I have seen more conflicts than it's worth when running APM from CMOS

I have an old (yet still very functional) gateway pentium 75MHz computer. &nbsp;I want to use its AMP ability to spin-down the hard drives after so long. There is a setting in BIOS to do this however it says I must install a program called POWER.EXE in my config.sys file. I previously had it installed before I upgraded to win95 and it put the computer into somekind of suspend but didn't spin-down the hard drives. What is this program/What does it do? &nbsp;Will it affect windows 95? &nbsp;Is there anything else I need to do to make this work????????
