Can APM be enabled in Advanced Server???

FoLLgoTT
I heard that it is not supported by Win 2000 (Advanced) Server, but my PC doesn't support ACPI so it doesn't turn off after shut down. I can't enable APM, because the option is not there under power management properties.

Help-I gave up on Win2000-went back to Win98

Kyosho46vr
I really like the stability of Win2000, how ever my OS will only stay up and running a few weeks and then it crashes. I have had NTOSKRNL. EXE corrupt, and win2000 protection errors, where the system hangs at boot and reboots over and over.
