Standby Mode Doesn't Start

[Rick]

I set it to start after 15 minutes of idle or "Energy Star" mode, but it
never goes into standby mode.
Screen Saver works fine, but Stand By never starts. I turn off Screen Saver
when setting up Stand By so that's not the problem. I leave Outlook Express
open to receive my email and should be able to do this while in Stand By
according to what I've read.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
