Hi, here's an article that I pulled from the MS knowledge base that may help. Also, you might want to check the web site for the machine that you own and see if they have any 2000 drivers for your machine.
-Try Verifying that APM is properly enabled in the BIOS.
-To troubleshoot APM issues:
Use the Apmstat.exe tool to determine the status of APM on the computer. The Apmstat.exe tool is located in the Support/Tools folder on the Windows 2000 CD-ROM. To use the tool, install the Support tools by double-clicking Setup.exe in the Support\Tools folder. The Apmstat.exe tool provides an overview of why APM support was or was not installed.
-Run the tool by typing the following line:
apmstat -v
The -v switch causes Apmstat.exe to run in Verbose mode. Possible Apmstat.exe output may include:
-This machine has an APM BIOS on the AutoEnable list, and the APM BIOS appears to be on. APM should have been autoenabled at install. However, APM may have been manually disabled. Check the APM tab in the Power applet in the Control Panel.
-This machine has an APM BIOS present that looks OK, and it is not on the list of machines known to have APM problems. Check the Power applet in the Control Panel to see if APM is enabled.
-The last oneof these entries may be displayed on computers that support APM, but on which Windows 2000 cannot determine the status of the computer's APM compliancy.
