Hello

I have a problem where by when the PC goes into standby
the monitor will not power up properly when the PC wakes.
So I want to know how if it is possible to remove the
stand by option from the shut down list.

Any Ideas People?

Thanks
Nathan

Hi ,

I found the following information in the site

Apmstat.exe: Advanced Power Management Status :
===============================================
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/techre
f/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/windowsServ/2003/all/techre
f/en-us/apmstat.asp

Summary :
===========
The control panel includes a Power Options program. If APM is installed
(enabled or disabled) there will be an APM tab in this program. You can
turn APM on and off by selecting the box in this tab. This is the only
recommended and supported way to turn APM off. Turning APM on is Plug and
Play and on the fly, turning it off requires a reboot. If the tab is
absent, the computer is either an ACPI computer or an APM-disabled
computer.
If APM is turned on, there is a Stand by option under Shutdown in the logon
dialog box invoked with CTRL-ALT-DELETE. There might also be a hibernate
entry, but that is not related. (Hibernate can work even if neither APM nor
ACPI are present.) Standby under APM has the same use as under ACPI.

Hope i answered ur query,

Venkat.

Thanks for that.
However the APM tab is absent and I have checked and found
out that the PC is an ACPI computer. So where can I go
from here?
 
Update the BIOS and the video drivers to fix the Standby mode problems. The
only other option is the reinstall on Standard HAL.
