Not a solution, but I wouldn't use these features, they have never worked properly. Just set the Monitor and Hard Drives to turn off after a certain time.

Yeah, what J said. I have a machine where they work but most don't depends on the MB, etc.
Thought for the new millenium:

In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?

Standby and Hibernate both work flawlessly on my old desktop and my Dell notebook.
You just have to use hardware and drivers that support it (hence the WHQL).

maybe they didn't install good when you were installing windows, reinstalling windows and select repair instead of install, so like that it would just replace all the files and leave eveyrthing else in tact, coz if you install it again it'll install a new registy and you're gonna have to install everything else again

in order to make standby and hibernate to work you need three things
1) correct graphics drivers
2) correct sound drivers
3) enough disk space to store the ram context if you are hibernating

• blog • tumblog • lastfm • flickr • #rubyonrails • @twitter

You could post your hardware specs, and we might be able to point you in the right direction.
