Q: Power Management Icon does not appear in the Windows 95 Control

Panel even though the APM under BIOS Setup is enabled.

A: This problem occurs if you did not enable the APM function before you

install Windows 95.  If you have already installed Windows 95, re-install it
after the BIOS APM function is enabled.
