It's beginning to look like I need a wrapper for PowrProf.dll and/or it's SetSuspendState entry point.... or maybe the command line syntax to specify parms on the command line. To wit: ------------------------------------------- RunDll32.exe PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState ------------------------------------------- Will make the PC go into hibernation. Close.... what I want is the next level up: "Sleep Level 3", or "S3". -- PeteCresswell

PsShutdown.exe -d -t 0 http://tinyurl.com/yuxdw4 Issues a license acceptance prompt the first time used, but on subsequent invocations it just does it's thing. -- PeteCresswell

Peter, That utility: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/psshutdown.mspx -d switch is 'suspend' mode, which is called 'standby' in XP Media Player also stops the standby mode. Have you also set the correct power options to allow the mode? -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "(PeteCresswell)" <x@y.Invalid> wrote in message news:hgjuc3543n20g5n4stbo7q0iejrmqkj20e@4ax.com... > Per (PeteCresswell): > >It's beginning to look like I need a wrapper > > Got It! > > PsShutdown.exe -d -t 0 > > http://tinyurl.com/yuxdw4 > > Issues a license acceptance prompt the first time used, but on > subsequent invocations it just does it's thing. > -- > PeteCresswell

Yes - they're in the BIOS setup screen. Some boards support S3, others don't. Also, some boards wake up from USB keyboard/mouse activity and others need for the user to press the physical power switch. -- PeteCresswell
