Whether I go to Power Options via Control Panel-Settings or via Right
Click-Display Properties - whenever I select a power management scheme which
sets the PC to go into Standby - say Turn Off Monitor after 15 mins then
Standby after 25 mins, whilst the Monitor turns off - the PC does not go into
Standby!

Can anyone offer any suggestions as to why, please?

This facility was working some months ago - worked for a few times and then
stopped! I'm not conciuosly aware of doing anything that may have caused
this. My PC is set to Hibernate when I press the "Sleep" button and this
works OK!

N.B. I've posted the same question on the PC Advisor Helproom pages here in
the UK - this seems to be a common problem and so far, this morning, I have
not found anyone who knows how to remedy it!
 
I'm throwing this one up agqain in the hope that it will catch the attention
of someone who might just be able to tell me how to sort this problem out.
