Standby, Win XP Home

[R T]

Standby sometimes works, other times fails at varying lengths of time. I
turn off programs that might startle system into action, put cable modem on
standby, turn screesaver to "none", exit time synchronizer, etc. I have the
AMD "cool 'n' quite' service set up - it seems to have little if any effect,
but should that be removed? Any suggestions most welcome.

What is failure? Fail to go into standby? Failure coming out of standby?

 

[R T]

Standby mode fails to obey order to continue standing by. 'Puter laughs at
Standby's puny power to keep to its duty of standing by. System effortlessly
brushes aside Standby's authority as the controller of 'puters state. The
commanded state is STANDBY , you frisky, surly, oafish lout of a system.
HOLD your wicked impulses in iron-bound reserve. DO NOT give me an active
'puter-ish noise and an unwanted view of the ruddy desktop UNTIL I jolly
well alow you. The standby program, mechanism, whatever, turns a deaf ear.
It lets busi-ness walk all over it like a stampede of elephants.

Enter BIOS and reset 'Wake on Lan'.

I think I have had 'Wake on Lan' disabled since OS install, Unknown, but
will check to see if that's really so. Thanks.
