CAUSE

If your computer disables APM functionality while it is in a docking station (such as the Zenith 420s and 425s computers do), you do not have access to the APM features in Windows 95.

WORKAROUND

APM support on these computers is not available while they are docked. After you remove the machine from the docking station, add the APM support back into Windows 95.
