Everything is updated as far as i know. I updated to A09, updated everything there
was to. When i do try to get it to come out of standby, the activity light comes
on for about 10 seconds, then it restarts. With win2k i had some problems with standby
also, but fixed its self after i reinstalled it. I guess i have to hope this solves
itself the same way because there seems to be no reason for this to be happening.
Another strange thing i noticed with XP is that when i dont use the computer for
about 10-15 minutes, there is alot of activity going on (no apps running). Im not
sure what could be causing it, but in the processes list, the "System Idle Process"
is using 97-99 of CPU. But when i look under Performance, it doesnt agree with what
its saying, only 4% of CPU usage.
