Other than that, I can't offer much advice. Except to say that I have the Power Saver settings you mentioned (Hibernation "Enabled" with the power button set to hibernate when pressed) as standard set-up on my L100. Based on the research and advice I got when installing W98se, I believe those settings are required. FYI, my L100's hibernation has gotten flakey - sometimes it works, sometimes it won't resume. Standby still works, though. If I ever get the chance to install the 40GB drive I've got, I'm going to really, really try to get W98 set up right: dual-booting with W2K.
