My computer seems to be having trouble staying in Standby mode. I activate it, the hard drives shut down, the screen goes blank, and then a second later it starts up again.  This happened yesterday and I finally got it to work by not allowing the mouse to bring it out of standby mode; this let it stay but interestingly enough moving the mouse would still bring it back up. Today that's not even working... I tried enabling it for the mouse and disabling it for the keyboard instead, and that seemed to work (only tested it once) but nothing except the power button will bring it back up. Nothing else is set to be able to do it... What could be doing it?[Generic computer info crap] OS=WINDOWS_XP SERVICE_PACK=NONE RAM=192MB CPU=800MHZ CELERON VIDEO=4MB ONBOARD CRAP=TRUE [End generic computer info crap] |

What Xkeeper said. Plus, you really should install Service Pack 2.... when you have the time to download 260MB.  |

| i think it also depends on the stuff you have installed. I know when I install printer management software for my desktop computer, standby and hibernation no longer work because of conflicts with the printer management software. So, possibly, it could be the case that something is interfering with this mode. Even then, I really don't understand why you need standby because your computer is still on (i.e. CPU fans are still running) |

It uses less power.  It can't be any of those except maybe #3. Keyboard and mouse are both disallowed (and weren't being touched, though they could be defective), as well as the network, and the modem (if there's even still one in there) isn't plugged in. There is the slight possibility that it is the network though. Considering how the mouse was still able to turn it back on when I disabled that...  FreeDOS: Sure. As soon as they make a version my computer can boot up with.  |

| You do. I don't. That's basically what standby mode is, anyway. |

| Well, if you aren't cutting of power to the CPU and fans, then there is no point to standby because it would be then no different from drives automatically shutting down and the monitor shutting down. At that point, standby is as pointless as dumping water into the ocean. Oh well. |
