Hi Henyman
(btw your desktop is much better now.)
I'm going to try and help you again. ;)
Try this:
Go to start -> Control panel -> Power management -> standby, and find the checkbox Enable standby. This should do the trick.

I translated the windows and tabs so the names can be different.

See screenshot for more info :D
 
i don't have 4 menues i only have 3:( i no it used 2 b there:confused:

screeshot atached (again)
 
umm yeah i need 2 atach it....
 
hmm... that's weird.

Try this program, you can find it here

I don't know if it works, because I never tried it, but it might do the job. :D
Let me know if it works ;)
 
hmm that tec item is kinda the thing...but that's 4 windows 98
 
A question: has the standby tab been there once. I mean does your computer support the standby feature ?

Taken this from the M$ website:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your computer won’t enter standby or hibernation, it may require updated drivers. Power management features, especially standby and hibernation, rely on device drivers that support power management in addition to compatible hardware. Incompatible video drivers prevent these features from working. The built-in VGA driver, for example, is a bare-bones driver that doesn’t support power management.

If standby and hibernate don’t work, install an updated driver for your display adapter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
read this maybe it will help. Take notice of the line ...Note If the Hibernate tab is unavailable, your computer does not support this feature....
 
yup it alway's used 2 work stand by + then hold down shit 2 get hibernate. hmm could this b goin back 2 uninstalling the driver:confused:
 
hmmm but it alway's used 2 suport it?????????
 
Well then I think I have failed this time :( :( :(
I have no ideas anymore, the only thing I can think of is format and reinstall XP. :eek:
 
:eek: u failed me....but,but....u never have........

i'm not goin 2 reformat 4 several reason's:
1) i don't no how
2) xp came pre installed wid no c.d
3)i can live without stand by/hibernate
4) there are lot's of valuble files + setting i don't wan't 2 loose
5) i'm goin 2 try downloadin a proper n vida driver rather than 1 xp think's work's cus i think that's the problem.

i'll let u no.....:(
 
I am sorry to let you down :( :( :( *snif* *snif*
Let me know if installing the new nvidia drivers helps.
 
i can't b ased 2 do it now i'll do it 2morrow, if the file ain't 2 big
 
standby won't be available without acpi installed... check attachment:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
