Windows 98 has introduced some new features. One of them is the OnNow! feature.
It allows your system to be Standby mode. This feature is very similar to the Standby mode on your TV set which allows it be turned on within split seconds using a remote control.

Enabling ACPI for Testing and Development with Windows 98. The following instructions
will allow any OEM to enable ACPI on its systems for testing with Windows 98:

Option 1—Setup: Run Windows 98 Setup using setup /p j on the command line so
that Setup will load ACPI by default.
Option 2—Regedit: To enable ACPI after Windows 98 is installed, run Regedit and
go to the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Detect    

Create a new string value called "ACPIOption" and set it equal to 1.

In Control Panel, run Add New Hardware and choose hardware detection. ACPI should be detected and installed. After the system is rebooted, all ACPI-enumerated devices will be set up again.

Please note that not all BIOSes currently available supports ACPI. According to ABIT, ABIT BX6 DL's BIOS does not yet support ACPI.
