| 134022 | 2003-04-07 07:09:00 | I have installed XP Home edition and my machine will not go on standby. The problem appears to be processes that are running. Under W98 i could end all processes except Syst tray and explorer What do i avoid ending in XP?I get dire warnings when i try to end the offending running processes. |

| 134023 | 2003-04-07 08:35:00 | have you gone to windows update to get the fixes for problems relating to standby? or just goto windows update anyway.... or goto control panel and double click on "power options" under that aplet is the settings for standby and also hibernate. :-) |

| 134024 | 2003-04-07 08:58:00 | You'll need APM enabled firstly, and you should be able to (If your user account is an Administrators) hit Ctrl + Alt + Esc and manage the processes in there.. There are some that are best left alone mind you. Im not on an XP machine, so I cant tell you, but try experimenting with different programs being open and closed. You'll learn the proccess name for the programs over time :-) |

| 134025 | 2003-04-07 12:26:00 | I have Windows ME & XP home on the same machine. On ME standby works perfectly. On XP I have tried everything and have had no luck with standby. Updated BIOS. Installed SP1 It will sometimes standby for about 5 seconds but always comes back. Hibernation is also a dead loss, It doesn't hibernate, it goes into a coma :) I suspect that my AMD K6 3D CPU may be to blame as I can not get Mandrake Linux to run properly on it either. Locks up when you access a CD. |
