I don't think win98 has that functionality. I'm pretty win2000 had it though. Time for you to upgrade anyway ;)

Putting a computer into Standby mode is a useful feature that allows users to quickly pause their work and conserve energy. Windows98 SE has a simple process for putting a computer into Standby mode.

To put your computer into Standby mode, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Start button and select Shut Down.

To exit Standby mode, simply press any key on your keyboard or move your mouse. Your computer will resume from where you left off.

It is important to note that not all computers will have the Standby option available. If you do not see the Standby option in the Shut Down Windows dialog box, your computer may not have the necessary hardware or software to support Standby mode.

In conclusion, putting Windows98 SE into Standby mode is a quick and easy process that can help conserve energy and pause your work. Make sure to check your computer's compatibility with Standby mode before attempting to use it.
