"Standby" after SP2

[Wayne]

Anybody else having a problem trying to put their
computer into standby mode after installing SP2? Mine
just hangs on "preparing to standby" but never gets there.

Do you have Nero installed? If so, try to update it.

You may want to try disabling DEP - this has worked for some users:
Reference:

--> You add a /noexecute=AlwaysOff line to the boot.ini file
--> You can control DEP through the control
panel/system/advanced/performance

Just curious. Why do you need standy?
