Standby Mode in XP

[Guest]

I have recently purchased a notebook with XP home, including standby and hibernation features fully functional. I wanted to upgrade to xp pro, but lost ability to standby and hibernate. I have since reinstalled original xp home and still dont have that functionality. Can someone help me to restore these functions?

Hi James...
Check your settings in Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, Power Options.
On the Power Schemes tab is a system standby window and there is also a hibernate tab.
Check those.
Take Care...

I just did a re-partition and clean install of XP Pro amd when click on "Turn Off Computer", I get the "Turn Off" and "Restart" options but the "StandBy" option is greyed out. BTW, its a full version of XP Pro but its "academic" (got it thru school)...can't imagine that would make a difference...also, I installed it on a laptop (a Sager NP5660). Anyway, I had XP Home before and didn't have this issue.

The key to your problem is "Laptop". Most require a specialized driver set
from the OEM.
In any event, it sounds like the OS did not see a recognizable compatable
power management hardware configuration, so it defaulted. There are some
possible cures, but I'd only try them with a desktop.

Thanks, Chuck. There are a bunch of Sager updates that I have to d/l (video drivers, chipset revisions, etc.) and I may get the "Standby" option back after I do that. If nothing else, its nice to know that I'm not the only one experiencing this...thought I might have messed something up when I did the install.

I am also having problems with standby mode. Turned off my my computer last
week and when it restarted, standby & hibernate were GONE. Checked energy
options and they are not there either....standby button is greyed out.
Haven't changed anything or added new programs. What could cause this?
