SYMPTOMS
In a preinstalled installation of Microsoft Windows 98,
standby functionality is available as part of basic power
management. After you upgrade the operating system to
Windows XP, the Enable Advanced Power Management check box
is cleared, which means that the computer is unable to
enter standby.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, you must manually reset the
power management settings.

The above is my problem. But how do i reset the power
management settings.
In shut down i have no option to stand-by and when
powering down the pc does not turn itself off just a
message to say " it is nowe safe.." in 98 stand by and
power off worked.

Your bios/system is too old, upgrade your system bios.

Most ACPI system will shutdown, but if you system is Standard PC you need to
update your bios, ask the manufacture for a newer ACPI bios if they have it,
after that you will need to do a new install of XP

To check what is system you have go to Start, Run, type devmgmt.msc, click
Computer
Is it ACPI or Standard PC?

Most ACPI system will be standby hibernation capable, but if you system is
Standard PC you need to update your bios, ask the manufacture for a newer
ACPI bios if they have it,
after that you will need to do a new install of XP
