hi,
does anybody know why my stand-by is greyed out in the shut-down window? the option to hibernate or stand-by isn't even in the power option properties...
i think it's something to do with display drivers?
thanx

found this on another board..


problem was as follows :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've not been able to find a solution to this problem in the archives, so I apologize if this has been rehashed. I am running XP Pro on a custom machine, 2.6 Intel, 512 ram, 80gig hd.
My "stand by" function is greyed out.
When I try to set "power option properties" I get the following message: "Power Policy Manager unable to set policy. Indicates two revision levels are incompatible."
In my bios settings (Phoenx Award Bios)
"sleep state" is set to S1/POS
"power management" is set to user define
"suspend mode" is disabled
"HDD off after" is disabled.
Obviously, I'm missing something, but I cannot figure out how to get the "stand by" function or to set the power policies.
I have read some info that indicates the problem may be in my monitor and/or monitor driver (Samtron 76v) and that it could be incompatible in XP. Any thoughts?

thanx for ur help
but the link to microsoft support was not available
any other solutions?

if this helps, every time i start up my comp it 'finds new hardware': video controller (VGA compatible) and S3Inc. Trio3D/2X Display Driver Version 5.30.05 Engineering Release. I try to install them through device manager display adapters but it tells me that they're not compatible with Windows XP.
i read somewhere that someone installed graphic drivers to solve their greyed-out stand by problem.

i don't know where to start or if that's even the right solution for me...

give me a couple minutes searching the WWW and i will see what i can turn up.

k.. this is what i have found so far..
