Enabling Standby
 

I recently reformatted my HD, and it seems that standby is now disabled. I searched Google, but it was telling me to look under power options in the "hibernate" tab. I don't have one of those. When I go to the shut-down dialog, the three buttons come up, but standby is grayed out. I'm running XP Home on an ASUSTek motherboard which definitely supports standby.

Thanks.

The standby settings have to do with the Power Schemes you are running. In XP, go to the power options properties --> power schemes tab.

Actually that didn't work either. But after I found out that windows calls standby/hibernate support ACPI, I figured out that I needed to change drivers. Problem solved, standby uh... standing.

Blargh. Standby grayed out again...

EDIT: and now it's back... make up your mind, foul beast! >_<

have you checked your BIOS settings?

I did, and nothing seems to be in the BIOS that can enable/disable it. But things seem to have gotten better now, thanks.
