Guest Frank F Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 The computer had the "standby" option in power options. Had to format/reinstall XP and now that option is missing. How do I make it appear ? Thanks Frank

You can download them from the manufacturer's web site. You should also check Device Manager to see if any of the items listed has a yellow exclamation point. Look for drivers for those devices as well. If you're not sure how to proceed, post back with information about your computer including the make and model #. Good luck Nepatsfan
Guest Frank F Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Re: Standby option missing Hi I will check the Device Manager. Now I don't understand why a display adaptor driver would have anything to do with a missing power option ????? This is a generic computer built by a local computer shop so if a driver is needed not sure how to find it. I will cross that bridge if I get there.

Guest Nepatsfan Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Re: Standby option missing Did the local shop give you any CDs when you purchased this computer? If they did, you may find one of the CDs has the driver for your display adapter. If you didn't receive any CDs, it's time to move on to identifying your display adapter. Your computer either has an on-board display adapter (monitor connects directly to the motherboard) or an add-on video card. If you have an on-board adapter, you need to determine the manufacturer, make, and model # of your motherboard. That can be done with a program such as Belarc Advisor. Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit (Version 7.2x) http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html Once you've identified your motherboard you should be able to download drivers from the manufacturer's support site. If your computer has an add-on video card you may need to open the case to determine the manufacturer and model #. I'm not sure whether Belarc Advisor will provide information for a device that doesn't have the correct drivers installed. Post back if you need clarification on any of this information.
