When you reboot you computer, the Standby button should appear again. text/html 2006-04-20T16:17:46-05:00 .exe http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/57400/#406682 And so it does!<br /> It says:<br /> <br /> ACPI Uniprocessor PC<br /> <br /> Device type: Computer<br /> Manufacturer: (Standard computers)<br /> Location: Unknown<br /> <br /> then, under device status<br /> it says that it is working correctly, and that if I have problems, I should try the Windows Troubleshooter... good joke!<br /> <br /> Regards,<br /> Oliver Hutterer text/html 2006-04-19T16:03:53-05:00 phil http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/57400/#406469 .

(S3 + power options&gt;enable hibernate)<br /> <br /> .. if it wont hibernate either, i would check which HAL windows installed under.. if you dont have ACPI enabled when you install windows, you will never be able to enable S1/S3 , unless oyu change your HAL . (hardware abstraction layer) .. in other words re-install windows with ACPI enabled.. if it was enabled and you have a non acpi HAL layer installed then your motherboard is faulty and is not communicating with winXP setup text/html 2006-04-19T14:12:18-05:00 .exe http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/57400/#406455 I have installed all the latest drivers and it is still grayed out. I have checked my BIOS settings, and the ACPI suspend types S1 and A3 are both enabled and supported so it has to be a problem on the OS level. Any help?<br /> Regards<br /> <br /> <br /> EDIT... I don't have SP2 installed yet. Could this be a problem? text/html 2006-04-07T15:04:21-05:00 bonfire-db http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/57400/#403228 video drivers. with nvidia also. text/html 2006-04-07T15:01:44-05:00 Chris B http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/57400/#403227 i got the standby button to appear by installing the latest video drivers text/html 2006-04-07T14:02:10-05:00 G. G. http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/57400/#403220 Have you loaded your video drivers yet ?? <br /> <br /> A couple of months ago... I built a new system for my wife... I distinctively remember that after new install of XP..... the standby button was grayed out.... after updating the system with the motherboards chipset drivers and all MS updates..... it was only when I installed my video drivers that the standby button was available. Also.... When I went to uninstalled and reinstalled different versions of video drivers.... the standby button was greyed out in between versions of video drivers... So for me.... the only time the standby button was available was when video drivers were loaded. Now this is for a ATI card... not sure if would apply with a Nvidia card. text/html 2006-04-07T12:47:41-05:00 Badreldin Awad Mohamed http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/57400/#403209 chek your Display Adapter driver.<br /> <br /> text/html 2006-04-06T20:07:06-05:00 Michael A. http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/57400/#403012 Try this:<br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://rickrogers.org/standby.htm" target="_blank">http://rickrogers.org/standby.htm</a>
