Guest R T Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Standby sometimes works, other times fails at varying lengths of time. I turn off programs that might startle system into action, put cable modem on standby, turn screesaver to "none", exit time synchronizer, etc. I have the AMD "cool 'n' quite' service set up - it seems to have little if any effect, but should that be removed? Any suggestions most welcome. -- R T address anti-spammed

Guest R T Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: Standby, Win XP Home Standby mode fails to obey order to continue standing by. 'Puter laughs at Standby's puny power to keep to its duty of standing by. System effortlessly brushes aside Standby's authority as the controller of 'puters state. The commanded state is STANDBY , you frisky, surly, oafish lout of a system. HOLD your wicked impulses in iron-bound reserve. DO NOT give me an active 'puter-ish noise and an unwanted view of the ruddy desktop UNTIL I jolly well alow you. The standby program, mechanism, whatever, turns a deaf ear. It lets busi-ness walk all over it like a stampede of elephants. Rob "Unknown" <unknown@unknown.kom> wrote in message news:oPVHi.34627$RX.6007@newssvr11.news.prodigy.net... | What is failure?

Guest R T Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: Standby, Win XP Home I think I have had 'Wake on Lan' disabled since OS install, Unknown, but will check to see if that's really so. Thanks.
