In that case will it go into Standby when directed too?

Hi, No matter how I try I cannot get the desktop to go into standby mode or have the hard drive go to sleep after a half hour of inactivity. I've tried tweaking all of the power settings to no avail. Is there a way to clear the system so I can shut down automatically at a chosen time?
Thanks
Catt
