Ston_Haus Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 I don't know exactly what happened to my setup, but one day I couldn't go into standby in windows xp anymore. I even looked at the power power options in the control panel and everything for system standby were missing does any one know a way to re-install these or recover them?

YODA74 Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 you could try to" Reboot your computer while holding down the F8 Key. At the Advanced Options Menu select Last Known Good Configuration." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 hrm that is odd, but I have heard of this before. I'll try and dig up some information for you. Just do what YODA74 said, for now. That may fix your problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 Go in your BIOS and make sure Advanced Power Management is ON or ENABLED. Then set all the lesser APM-related options (such as hard disk timouts and the monitoring of ports) to disable or off. This ensures that Windows is in control of all the APM options. Then save settings, exit bios, and boot in to windows. See if that does anything to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolcomPimp Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 Sometimes updating system files on Windows Update can effect your setup... maybe an update tampered w/ some of your settings or screwed up something some how... if ya screw around within windows you might be able to fix this, but Ive seen this on older comps w/ other OS's that just seem to not wanna go into stand by anymore... could just be a permenant thing for your comp unless you like format or something... I dont really know what to say cause Ive seen this a few times b4, oddly enough I think they were all HP's.... as for them, that's the kind of problems they get using pre-built comps...

If it isn't and you want it on, right click it and click on start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YODA74 Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 I have to go for a bit but would like you to check and see if you have any "Unsigned Device Drivers" Click Start, click Run, type sigverif, and then click OK. Click Advanced. Click Look for other files that are not digitally signed. In the Look in this folder box, type x:\Windows\system32\drivers, where x is the letter of the drive where Windows XP is installed. On the Logging tab, make sure the Save the file signature verification results to a log file check box is selected, and then click OK. Click Start.NOTE: The log file is named Sigverif.txt, and it is saved in the Windows folder. Third-party drivers that are unsigned are displayed as "Not signed." Use the drivers in this list as your troubleshooting starting point. Some driver are hardware issue here I think if not you can always back up everything and repair windows by going over top as long as this is a full install and not a update seems this is not a 9x windows it works very well. go here for that http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp....isting%20Setup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
