SYMPTOMS

A computer using Advanced Power Management (APM) features is not suspended when an MS-DOS session (or virtual machine) is active.

CAUSE

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, enable a screen saver. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. In Control Panel, double-click Display.

  2. Click the Screen Saver tab.

  3. Click a screen saver in the Screen Saver box, and then click OK.
