Help, 'stand bye' is disabled?

[Tony]

So I just got through restoring Windows Xp on my computer. After my
old hd died. But there is only one problem. The stand bye option is
grayed out. I can only restart or shutdown the computer. Anyone know
what the problem is?

Actually, its Standby not Stand Bye.

Mostly caused due to improper or No Display Drivers installed. Try
installing your VGA Drivers from your Motherboard / AGP Card CD. You can also
download the latest one from motherboard/agp card manufacturer's web-site.

As you said that it was exist before, it means your computer support APM
[Advanced Power Management]. Chances are that you forget to install Display
Drivers after fresh install of Windows XP.

First, check if you have Motherboard or AGP Card CD in your bag. It will save
a lot of time. In case, you don't have the CD then first you have to know the
make of your inbuilt or AGP card manufacturer like Intel, nVidia. If you
don't know the exact one then find the manuals. Even if you don't have the
manual then you can download

Driver Detective. Not sure, never tried it but think that it will find the
correct make and will recommend the download. You can know atleast the make
of your display card.
