Windows XP Professional Standby
10 Answers
When I choose Turn Off Computer from the Start Menu, the StandBy option is not highlighted in colour, but the other two buttons are. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be wrong?
Many thanks in anticipation!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.found this jp4--go to start/help and support and in the search box type hibernation--under pick a task click--manually put your computer into hibernation--u will see it urself but the relevant part says--"If the Hibernate tab is unavailable, your computer does not support this feature."--so nothing actually "wrong"--just doesn't do it
sorry sorry jp4--not paying attention 2day--u want standby not hibernation--got that from previous answer by postdog--in power options click advanced then under "when i press the power button on my computer" choose standby in the drop down menu--search for standby in help and support for full explanation
there really isn't a problem to "crack" jp4--there is nothing "wrong" with ur system--i presume u are not having any problems running ur pc and all its software--the power options have nothing whatever to do with ur video card/driver--they are a function of what is called ur bios setup and ur hardware--it may be the case there is an option in ur bios setup to enable/disable standby on ur system--without knowing anything about ur system and its bios i cannot say--to check ur bios settings u can press either the f1 or delete key as it boots up--it should tell u which on screen--usually the black screen with white writing--the message is often along the bottom--once in the bios there should be an option to check power control--DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IF U R UNSURE--better having no standby option than messing up ur bios settings--cheers
