Re: Standby gone

Turns out it was a "non-XP compatible" program I installed last week that
caused this problem, the Standby returned to life upon uninstall.

Standby option is shaded/missing from Start/Turnoff menu in Xp Pro on two
separate laptops, both within the same week. Full virus/spy scan done,
nothing. IT guys are stumped. All other programs fully functional, same
for
OS, will not hypernate when closing lid, either.


Did the IT guys check to make sure both laptops were running the latest
drivers for the laptop's display/video adapter? Check the laptop
manufacturer's web site for a support section. You should be able to
download them there. Look for drivers listed under video or display adapter.

Another thing to check is if an updated display adapter driver was recently
installed. Rolling back to the previous driver may fix the problem. Right
click My Computer and select Manage from the menu. In Computer Management,
click on Device Manager in the left hand column. In the right hand pane,
click on the + sign next to Display adapters. Right click on the adapter
listed and select Properties from the menu. Click on the Driver tab.

Good luck
