And the answer is.....C
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. Or, you can manually extract the Apmstat.exe file from the Support.cab cabinet file. 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 is a multi-processor machine, APM does not work on MP machines, at all.
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 one of 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.
Here's a good read for you.
