i cant get standby mode option in winxp...
i used to do it win98 though.....
can anyone please help..?

Also how do i make a bootdisk in winxp.....??
i wanna make a bootdisk so i can flash my bios, which might help my previous problem..

please help me

thank you (in advance)
 
if it isnt going into standby it is probably giving you an error. I have the same problem, it tells me my video card drivers need updated. whats yours telling you?

as far as a boot disk, really no need for one, the xp disk is bootoable. if you need one to update bios, just use a 9x/ME boot disk, it will be much faster (only 1 disk vs. 6 for XP). if you dont have a 9x boot disk download one at www.bootdisk.com
 
still need help.....

hey guys
first of all
i dont have a standby mode option at all....
its not there on the shut down menu
all i have is hibernate,shut down & reset...


and when APM is enabled it just reboots....
but when i disable it
it actually shuts down but it doesn't power down...

and i just wanna make sure that an win98/Me boot disk will work for winxp.....
cause i really think updating my bios is the only option left here.

thanks for all the help d00ds.
 
i guess i would have to ask the simple question.... are you sure that a bios flash will fix it??? Just remember anytime you flash your bios, chances are good of making a "paper weight" even if your an experienced person doing it.
 
If none of that works, try the BIOS flash, if there is an update avalible.

No Standby After updating drivers

I did a clean install of Windows XP Professional, after which I was easily able to put the computer in standby. However, after installing updates for my hardware, and much software, my computer no longer enters standby. I can hear, at least one, if not both my hard drives turn off, but the screen remains on with the preparing to standby status message up. Any ideas?

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. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
