| 98085 | 2002-11-12 09:37:00 | I have Windows XP Home dual booted with ME and Linux The problem is that Standby works well with ME & Linux but not with XP. The Standby button is greyed out in XP & it overides the Bios. I have : 1) Upgraded the Bios. 2) Installed XP SP1 3) Tried all possible Bios & Power settings. I can get it to standby for about 5 seconds by pressing the off switch which is set for standby, but it always comes on again. Can anyone help? Microsoft are as much help as tits on a Bull on this matter. I don't like switching it off every time and the continual humming bugs me! AMD6 500mgh 235meg Ram Award Bios. |

| 98086 | 2002-11-12 10:05:00 | I'm pretty sure this only happens if WinXP believes your system doesn't support either ACPI or APM . WinXP is pickier about enabling APM support than Win ME . Unless WinXP finds your system on a list of know-to-be-good APM implementations, it won't enable APM even if your system has it . You may be able to over-ride this by enabling APM using the instructions found in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q313290 . |
