Where I work there are some old Compaqs (W98 & PII 233 vintage) and
some exhibit your problem. I haven't investigated, but I believe it
may the power management settings in the BIOS, as I seem to recall
changing the settings on one system and the symptom appeared. I think
it is related to the stand-by/instant-off setting.

Its Windows APM setting which needs enabling...
Possibly - but two systems next to each other with the same ghost
image and giving different results....
and it only happens with Compaqs!

That's the problem right there... ;-p
