Re: Standby/Hibernate Problem - Cannot wake up

I take the point. Unfortunately the BIOS on my system does not have any options to enable mouse or keyboard to wake up from standby.

I have no info regarding your laptop but I had to tweak a BIOS setting in my desktop to enable the mouse to wake up from Standby. It also had a setting to use the keyboard as a wake up device, but I didn't enable this feature.

It may be worth a look at your laptop's BIOS settings.

Thanks for the clarification regarding Hibernate Mode. So I should be able to wake up my computer from Standby Mode, but here also I find that neither the mouse nor the keyboard has the appropriate options when you check on them in the Control Panel. I wonder if this aspect of Power Management is part of the System Drivers particular to the make of the laptop. In fact I have installed the latest Lenovo (my laptop manufacturer) Power Management driver, but there is no improvement. If any folks out there with the same system (Lenovo 3000N200 with Windows XP Pro) have got their Power Management functioning properly, I would be glad to hear from them.

If you are in hibernation mode you can ONLY bring it out of hibernation via the power on button except for wake on LAN. In hibernation, power is off and the power on button must be pushed. When in standby mode a keyboard or mouse movement will liven your computer. But, the keyboard and/or mouse must be set up to do that function. In standby mode power is on and you only activate the computer.

I have recently downgraded the Operating System on my Laptop (Lenovo Notebook 3000N200) to Windows XP Pro with reasonable success. However, there is one problem. I can go into Standby and Hibernate mode all right, though it takes an easy 60 secs to do so, but I cannot wake the computer by shaking the mouse or punching any key on the keyboard. I should clarify that my laptop is connected to an external monitor and keyboard, and hence the reference to shaking the mouse. I find that the only way to recover from Standby or Hibernate modes is to power off and power on again by pressing the power button on the laptop, which partly defeats the purpose of using these modes. I have installed the correct latest BIOS and also Power Management and video drivers for XP. Any help will be appreciated.
