Energy Saving features grayed out due to outdated BIOS or real mode network.
Cause:
The BIOS may be outdated, or the computer contains a real mode network adapter driver. Windows 95 does not accept APM if an NDIS 2 (real mode) network driver is installed.
Solution:
Make sure the BIOS is up-to-date and that the network adapter driver is a protected mode driver.
Do one or both of the following:
1) Obtain an updated BIOS for the computer.
2) If the computer contains a network adapter, make sure the driver is a protected mode driver (NDIS 3.1) and not a real mode driver (NDIS 2):
a) Right-click 'Network Neighborhood'. (A pop-up menu appears.)
b) Select 'Properties' from the pop-up menu. (The 'Network' dialog box appears.)
c) Select the network adapter installed on the computer from 'The following network components are installed' list box.
Network adapter
d) Click 'Properties' and click the 'Driver Type' tab.
e) Make sure the 'Enhanced mode (32-bit and 16-bit) NDIS driver' radio button is selected.
'Enhanced mode...' radio button
NOTE: Obtain a protected mode network driver card if this option is not enabled.
