I'm not sure what I changed to cause this problem, but I'm not aware of
it being like this in the past. I've been making many changes to my
machine (more RAM, new HDD, new applications, Windows Updates) and I
don't really know exactly when it started.
Laptop with Win XP Pro SP2, "all" MS updates applied.
The problem is this: I boot my machine, force STANDBY, and it does what
it should. The monitor goes off and I can hear the HDD stopping. I wake
it up (must use the power button) and all is OK. If I now try to go
into STANDBY again, the monitor goes off but the disk does not stop
spinning, the mouse is dead, and I am unable to resume - rebooting is
the only option.
I've had similar inconsistency when trying to Hibernate after an
earlier Standby. I get the "Preparing to Hibernate" display and that's
how it stays - dead.
This behaviour seems to be independent of Power Settings, etc. Also, if
the system goes into Standby automatically (in accordance with Power
Settings), I am unable to resume.
Any ideas would be apperciated.
Thanks.
