NOTE: For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing Keys And
Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note that you should
make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat) before you
edit the registry.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall Windows 98. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems
resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry
Editor at your own risk.
Use Registry Editor to view the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\VPOWERD
Verify that there is a "Flags" value and a "SuspendFlag"
value. If these values do not exist, quit Registry Editor, and contact your
hardware manufacturer for further assistance. If these values exist, verify that
the data value of the "Flags" value is greater than or equal to 200.
If it is, modify the data value of the "Flags" value by subtracting
200 from the current value. For example, if the value is currently 310, change
it to 110. Change the data value of the "SuspendFlag" value to 0 if it
is not already 0. Restart your computer.
