I have installed XP in my laptop, the details as below:
1. Win XP professional SP3
2. Laptop HP compaq presario V3000
I have installed all drivers and can connect to the internet via the WiFi wireless,
but when I go to shut down, the botton of "Stand By" still inactive going to grey colour.I rechecked againg the VGA card is installed, I went to penal control and to check the "power option" I didnt see the hibernate icon there?
I've installed my e-GeForce MX 4000 64mb video card and enabled dual-monitors i no longer have the standby option. When i go to start-turn off computer the standby option is shaded and i can't click it.
what is the difference between stand by and hibernate? what do they do? what are there differences and are they of any use? will one of the reducue electricity usage??
I just reinstalled windows and got it activated, as windows genuine, via windows, but for some reason hibernate and stand by still are not enabled, and i cant figure out why. its win xp pro/media center 2005
After reformatting the HD and reinstalling XP, I find that my Inspiron laptop doesn't have Stand By or Hibernate options. When I close the lid and re-open it it's nonresponsive on a black screen until I turn it off with the Power button. I thought HAL.DLL was missing -- I got that error message once -- but it's there in SYSTEM32 and the bootlog shows it installed as a driver. Is there another driver missing? (I can't decipher all those short file names.) Might it be the wrong HAL, a generic one supplied with the XP Re-Install CD? How do I find out?
I would like to leave on my computer when i am asleep but i don't have the choice of choosing stand by or hibernate, it is grayed out. I have about 45GB of free Hard Drive space and i am stumped on how to fixed this.
ALLWAYS when I load from standby/hibernate I get a BSOD with weired characters(may be because my xp is in greek). If I go to event veiwer it has a red X in system.It says: in english(translated): Code: error code 1000008e, parameter1 80000004, parameter 2 806eeae1, parameter 3 a99f265c, parameter 4 00000000.in greek
i have a laptop (windows xp) and when i close the lid it goes into stand by automatically, and successfully, but then starts back up within 2-10 seconds for no reason.same case with hibernation, as soon as the computer is in hibernation it starts up again. i went to windows website but it suggests this has to do 3d screen savers which i dont use. this seems like a common problem and supposedly has to do with winfixer, sysprotect or winantivirus spyware. my computer had had vundo trojan.
My computer got in stand by/hibernate mode, my dad dont know much about computers so he decide to turn off using the power botton while my windows xp sp2 was on stand by mode, now my computer is dead, when i turn it on my monitor ( xerox flat screen) says no signal , i cant make it come back from stand by/hibernate mode, my friend told me if i turn it off on this modes then my windows wont recognice the monitor, keyboard (usb) and mouse (usb),
when i turn it on the red ligh is always on, reset button dont work. Monitor dont recive signal.If i disconect the power cable, when i conect it back it turn on itself without clicking power boton.Only way to turn it off is holding the power Boton. i doubt the mouse/keyboard are recognized by windows.
when I click on the Stand By button my computer well hibernate. I have been using Stand By for 3 years now. The button actually says Stand By, It says it is going into stand by mode. But it goes into Hibernate mode. Before when I put it in Stand By mode, the fans would all turn off. Now the fan doesnt turn off at all. From what I understand is that Hibernate mode saves your current settings. I have click the Stand By button a number of times with my web browser open and after I wake up from stand by (or what it is says is stand by) my web browser is still on the screen.

i can't adjust my power schemes in my power options--i've got my monitor shutting itself off after 10 minutes, always have , just recently got a new 3d screen saver and tried to adjust the shut off time & i can't change any of the setting in power schemes. where it usually has the option home / office / laptop, etc its black and won't let me adjust anything seems strange.

I have been using my genuine (original) XP Pro (oem) CD to do repair & setup on multiple older PCs just to get them in shape and up to date. It was working fine & able to activate on the first few machines, but finally then, I got this message, after it finished running a setup, booting into the Welcome screen, "Windows Product Activation: (with a circled Red X) This copy must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on. Do you want to Activate Windows now? Yes or No" I keep clicking "yes" but the same message box keeps reappearing continuously. It would not go any further. What is wrong? Is because I use the same product key to run several repair setups on multiple machines in a short period or did I use it to register & activate from different IP address under different names?
