Lord Kalthorn Guru Messages 13,293 Location Britain Aug 6, 2005 #4 It really depends on your Computer. Generally XP, 2000-age Computers can do it, but some can't, and most older ones can't. Presuming your Computer is capable and you know it is, that would be the best place to get the answers.

That HIGHLY depends on if apm is supported, or if it's enabled in the BIOS.
