XP sp3 -- probs with standby

[shieber]

I made a backup of my system disk image and installed sp3. No apparent probs
or difficulties except one. Since installing sp3, sometimes when my pc starts
going into standby, I get the "going into standby" screen but he pc hangs
there, hangs interminably and can only be regained by reboot.

Anyone else experience this?

There's a good chance others are experiencing this, but since the final
version of SP3 is not out yet, I somehow doubt those people will be in
this newsgroup.

You should post this to microsoft.beta.windowsxp.xp_sp3 on the betanews
server. This ng is unlikely to provide much help for service pack 3 beta.

Is there a NNTP name or what?

There are no usenet newsgroups for SP3.

If you use OE set up a new news account. The server is
betanews.microsoft.com. When the list of newsgroups populates you will see
microsoft.beta.windows.xp_sp3 (I incorrectly typed "windowsxp" in my last
post).

I can't reach betanews.microsoft.com through OE.

It says: 480 Logon Required. So I assume I need a username and password for
it?

Then you're not a Connect beta participant. See my previous reply to this
thread.

Probably. But why are you using an un-released SP? If you aren't
prepared to deal with problems and issues in unfinished software, remove
it and wait for the production release later this year. You obviously
didn't bother to RTFM did you?
