When I press the shut down computer button, from start menu, i don´t
have access to the standby button (it's grey like).
How can I enable this standby button?

Thanks a lot
 
This is usually a driver issue or caused by a card, usually graphics or
soundcard that is not compatible with the function. Start by checking your
graphics card and soundcard manufacturer's website for updated drivers.
 
Hi,

I found a couple of possibilities for this. One could be an out-of-date
BIOS, or perhaps a machine that does not support Standby functionality.
You would need to check with the computer manufacturer to see if the
computer should support the Standby option and if a newer BIOS version is
needed for this.

Another thing that has caused this problem in the past is some 3rd-party
software the somehow stops proper functionality of the Standby option. One
seen was Logitech Mouseware. Another was a program called MyBarney.
Removing this software resolved the problem in those cases.
