Question about 'Dealing with Windows's Advanced Power Management (APM)'

I have a somewhat weird question. I have windows 98 and I have been having some
problems with the Advanced Power Management. I recently downloaded the Goner virus
onto my computer, but since cleaned the virus from my computer, the APM had not worked
properly. The Standby option has never worked, but the Turn Off Hard Disks... always
did work. Now that option no longer exists in my APM menu. It's almost like the
Turn Off Hard Disks option never existed. I don't know if the virus deleted it or
it the virus removal program deleted it. My question is, is there any driver that
I can download, or any other way to reinstall this function on my computer?

Try this, right click on my computer and choose properties, then hit the Device manager
tab and select "View Devices By Type" at the top. Next find where it says "system
devices" and expand it. There should be something here named "ACPI Power Button"
and "ACPI System Button" or "Advanced Power Management Support", highlight one of
these at a time and click remove and restart your computer so Windows finds them
again and reinstalls them. Only try removing one thing at a time though. Hope this
solves the problem.

Thanks for your help, but I already tried doing that. It didn't work. The computer
reinstalled everything back the way it is now. I think that the virus deleted some
of the files in the registry that were linked to the APM, so when it tries to reinstall,
it doesn't even know that they were there in the first place.
