Standby mode not automatic and cannot save power schemes
I am running XP pro with SP3 and have a problem entering standby mode. When I manually select it, it works fine. When I use power options, it is never activated. The power options shows both standby and hibernate are supported by my HW. I have checked for BIOS and HW updates from my computer vendor - and believe that everything is current. It appears that, after I have stopped using the system for some minutes, the HD is showing almost no activity - just a sporadic blip every few minutes...My other indication is that I can modify power schemes, but I cannot save them. I do a change > save as > new name > ok. When I open it back up, there is no indication of the name I just entered.What gives? Any advice for me? I remember that I used to work a year ago, or so. Since then, I have added SW and a backup HD - no other HW. Thanks for your help! Eric1 person needs an answerI do too
