Reinstall or update the device drivers (especially for video card)

Hi tanner,

It is important. Reinstalling the system wiped out the drivers needed to
support that function. Ramesh has given you a link to a page I wrote on this
problem. As he has stated, you need to reinstall the system drivers, you are
using Windows defaults and these frequently do not support the standby
function.

Hi,

The drivers are how the OS talks to the hardware. Without them the OS would
not be able to interact with the system BIOS to make anything work.
