Enable Either Standby Or Hibernate Mode?
Aug 28, 2005I'm using a Compaq Desktop PC. Would you suggest that I enable either Standby or Hibernate mode? BTW, do you put your desktop at a place where there's ventilation to keep it cool?

Aug 12, 2007Hibernate and Standby were working fine on the machine. But since about a week. Both the Standby and Hibernate feature are not working. The detailed explanation is given below. I have three account profiles all set to admin. The computer does go on standby or hibernate when on the welcome screen but only if no one is logged on. If I have logged on, and then i select standby or hibernate nothing happens. After this if i try to shut down the computer it kind of hangs halfway through the shutdown process. It seems that it is trying to hibernate and shutdown at the same time.
If I have not requested for a hibernate or standby, and then try to shutdown the computer. It shuts down properly. if I log-off to the welcome screen and no other account is logged on then also the hibernate and standby work fine. I have tried to run system restore, but when it boots up in the restore process, i get a message that no changes have been made try another restore point... i have tried many points but it does not work.... am totally confused. I have also reinstalled the patch on the Microsoft website for XP where a machine with more than 2Gb of ram needs to hibernate.
Wont Standby Or Hibernate - SP3
Oct 15, 2009My Dell Mini 10V netbook, with Windows XP, SP3 won't standby or hibernate. It hangs at the "Preparing to Standby". I have to completely shut it off by holding the power switch. It reboots fine. It will shutdown without delay, but it doesn't save the desktop layout. I've tried the clean boot and it still doesn't standby. I'm doing the testing without the external monitor, keyboard, or mouse and it doesn't make any difference. It has all the original hardware. It would standby when I first got it and I have another Mini 10V that does standby and hibernate correctly.

Jan 21, 2006Looking for work-around solution standby/hibernate failure in WinXP system after installation of PGP 6.x.
Problem is completely described in Microsoft KB
article Q-314118 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314118/en-us
I am presently using PGP 6.5.1 and want to keep it. I'm using it for the PGPdisk features with encrypted
volumes (directories). It works fine in WinXP with both existing PGD volumes that I have (from previous
systems) and it also works fine with newly created PGD volumes. The only problem is that it prevents WinXP from entering Standby modes when I attempt this power down feature in WinXP for my laptop.........
Computer Won't Standby / Hibernate
Feb 22, 2008After a huge upgrade and fresh XP installation (up to SP2), my computer won't standby hibernate. The only parts that remained were the HDs, RAID card, and power supply. MOBO was upgraded to X38, GPU to GF8800GT, and CPU is now Dual Core. Prior to the upgrade, my PC could go into standby. Now it is "grayed out."I went to power management, hibernation tab is not there. I tried reinstalling MOBO drivers, same thing. My comp used to be able to do this in XP. Well, I read about it, and supposedly, dual core cannot go into standby (or at least winxp doesn't want to allow the user to do this with DualC). Is that true? Edit: I even tried the hotfix and disabling terminal services. No effect.I tried apmstat -v, and it said that this is an ACPI machine and that APM is not relevant.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHibernate And Standby - Stop IP From Changing?
Dec 11, 2005I have a Dell running Windows XP. My IP has been changing often with the upgrades from my cable company (I have high speed internet service and I use a router), making it impossible for me to get onto my company's websites due to the firewalls. Causing me to have to wait until a supervisor comes on for me to work. I shut my computer completely down when I am done with my shift. Someone has suggested that I put my computer on Standby or Hibernate it to avoid the IP from changing.
1. If I use hibernate of standby will that stop the IP from changing since I am not really shutting it off?
2. How do I come back from hibernate or standby? Everything I read in my help section tells you how to put the computer in that state but not bringing it back up.
3. Will not completely shutting off my computer cause more wear and tear on it, making me have to get another one sooner?
Difference - Should Shut Down - Standby Or Hibernate?
Jun 29, 2005For years I shut down the computer every night, then turn it on in the morning, but some one told me I should just leave it on all the time and use the Hibernate feature under the Power options? I've never become familiar with this or the difference between Hibernate and Standby. I have ZoneAlarm Pro as a firewall, along with Earthlink, which stops span and scans for virus email before I can dl it, so I feel sort of save there, but am not sure about this. I also have an APC back up power supply to cover me against power failure, and it will save and shut all programs down and turn off the computer after waiting a few minutes. Is it better to leave the computer on all the time and have the HDs turn off after an hour or so, the monitor turn off, and then have the computer go to Hibernate mode, instead of rebooting each day?

I was planning to cut down the power consumption[ @ nights] by keeping my XP either on 'standby' or 'hibernate' mode. Question is , will my P2P[emule or torrent] fall off with either of these two getting activated? Basically my ideal situation would be power consumption + P2P running in the backgrd.

I also have Ubuntu installed on a separate partition and grub is the bootloader; however, I don't see how this could affect my WinXp install since Ubuntu is not running at the time.

Standby Mode Is Compromising OS?
May 7, 2009I am under the impression that standby mode is compromising my OS. I only began using standby about a year ago and for the past 6 months or so my system has been less responsive and has even locked up a few times. It is an older system to begin with, but the problem is much worse when resuming from standby. I am mostly just curious if other people have had the same issue with XP Pro`s standby mode.
