Hi,

I have windows XP home edition with SP2. My problem is that when I go
start->shutdown the standby button is translucent and I am not able to select
it. Standby used to work, but I had to recently reinstall windows due to
some major issues with my computer. Can anyone help me?

Install the Video Adapter's drivers from the manufacturer's web site.

Right click the desktop, click Properties > Screen Saver tab > Power button and
check the Power Management settings.
