Stand By Mode greyed out

I recently re-imaged my Dell with XP Home
Edition....Previously the Stand By Mode was available.
After the re-installation of XP, Stand By is no longer
available.

Any ideas on how I can re-activate this option?

Visit the Dell support website and download the Windows XP
video drivers designed for your specific model Dell computer.

Thanks...I went to
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/devices.aspx?
c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&SystemID=INS_PNT_P4_8200&category=6&
os=WW1&osl=EN

and it lists 4 drives...under Device Manager my Display
adapter is listed as Dell 8200 (which is my inspiron
model). I attempted to udpate the driver from Device
Manager and it said it couldn't find a better match for
my hardware.

Is there anywhere else I can look?

Visit http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?~ck=mn
and type in your Dell Inspiron 8200 Service Tag number and the correct
video adapter drivers, among others you should also install, will appear.
Simply download the file to your drive, then click on it to install the
drivers. Do not use your Device Manager for installing drivers.
