stand by disabled

[DaleE]

When I select Turn Off Computer from the start menu, the Stand By option is
disabled (grayed out). Is there a fix?

you might want to
double check your
advance power settings
in the bios/cmos.

if the setting is wrong
or the feature is not
available , then windows
cannot facilitate the
advance power options.
