Stand by

[Ralvon]

I cannot put my computer on Stand By. When I click on the "Turn Off Computer
" I get the normal window showing the "Stand By", "TurnOff" and "Restart"
icons but only the "TurnOff" and "Restart" are highlighted and work, the
"Stand By" icon is not lit and does not work. Can any one help?

Sounds like you need to install the latest driver for your display adapter.
Check the computer or video card manufacturer's web site for a Download
section. You should be able to obtain the drivers there.

If you're not sure how to proceed, post back with the make and model of your
computer and/or video card.

Good luck

A suggestion, Control Panel>Power Options>Schemes, make sure you have not
chosen one that has Never checked for Standby.

Good luck!

It would have helped if you had included the model number of your Packard
Bell Imedia but I guess I shouldn't be surprised since I only asked for
'computer make and model'. That said, you can either post back with the
model number or go to this web site and ferret out the correct info
yourself.

Once you've located the Download page for your computer, download and
install the drivers listed under Video Component. Hopefully, once you have
the correct display adapters installed you'll once again have access to the
Standby feature.

Good luck

It is shown on the documentation as Imedia 1328 but I cannot find this on the
P.B. site

 

[Nepatsfan]

Here's a link to the Imedia 1328 web site. Download and install the driver
listed under Video Component. Hopefully, that will restore the Standby
feature on your computer.
