Virgin WebPlayer APM Hotfix

Download...
New in 053001...
- Pushing power button now puts Windows in
standby.
- A test program called LOADER is now
included. It allows you to test the driver without permanently
installing it. To use, just run LOADER to load the driver, press ESC
or reboot to unload the driver.
Random notes...
- If you have installed a previous version
of WPMGXV, please uninstall it first (see below).
- Make sure you enable Power Management in
the BIOS.
- You must have the Advanced Power
Management driver installed. If the Standby option in
Start->Shutdown isn't available, you probably don't have it
installed. See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q188/1/34.asp
for instructions.
- If you used the "replace the APM
driver with the ACPI driver" technique, remove the ACPI driver
then follow Microsoft's instructions above.
- In severe cases, you may need to
re-install Windows to get the Advanced Power Management driver
installed again. Maybe someone knows how to force this... ?
- To install the driver, either
double-click on the install.bat, or right-click on wpmgxv.inf and
select Install. Make sure you reboot afterwards!
- To remove, go into the Control Panel,
Add/Remove and select "Virgin APM Hotfix." Reboot to
complete the uninstall.
- Incase you're wondering why you have to
rename the self-extracting file above, GeoCities didn't like the exe
extension.
- Enjoy! :)
