The Computer Cannot Enter Standby or Hibernate If a Direct3D-Based Screen Saver Is 
Running (Q306676)

SYMPTOMS
If the 3D Flowerbox, 3D Flying Objects, 3D Pipes, 3D Text, or another Direct3D-based 
screen saver is running in Windows XP, the computer may be unable to enter standby 
or hibernation by using the timer in Power Management properties. 

Windows XP supports the ability to turn off the monitor or hard disks by using the 
Power Management timer with OpenGL (3D) screen savers running. 

This issue is not video adapter-dependent.
