Guest Tony Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 So I just got through restoring Windows Xp on my computer. After my old hd died. But there is only one problem. The stand bye option is grayed out. I can only restart or shutdown the computer. Anyone know what the problem is?
Guest RajKohli Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 RE: Help, 'stand bye' is disabled? Actually, its Standby not Stand Bye. Mostly caused due to improper or No Display Drivers installed. Try installing your VGA Drivers from your Motherboard / AGP Card CD. You can also download the latest one from motherboard/agp card manufacturer's web-site. As you said that it was exist before, it means your computer support APM [Advanced Power Management]. Chances are that you forget to install Display Drivers after fresh install of Windows XP.

Guest RajKohli Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Re: Help, 'stand bye' is disabled? First, check if you have Motherboard or AGP Card CD in your bag. It will save a lot of time. In case, you don't have the CD then first you have to know the make of your inbuilt or AGP card manufacturer like Intel, nVidia. If you don't know the exact one then find the manuals. Even if you don't have the manual then you can download http://www.drivershq.com/ Driver Detective. Not sure, never tried it but think that it will find the correct make and will recommend the download. You can know atleast the make of your display card. Hope this help, let us know!
