Download or install from CD the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard.

Thanks for your response.
My motherboard uses the SiS645 chipset. I downloaded and installed the IDE, AGP drivers,
USB patches, but the problems are still there, that is, no standby (standby button
dimmed on shutdown screen) and no hibernation option in "Control Panel->Power Options".
I've disabled the onboard Audio and RAID, so I did not uipdate drivers for them.
The strange thing is that I installed a test copy of Windows XP from the XP CD alone
and then standby and hibernation worked properly. Just cannot figure out what problem
my current copy of XP has.

Usually a recently install legacy driver cause this problem. It happened to me many
times , and had not much success to find the culprit.

I have this problem as well, and don't know what to do. I am considering a reformat.

I have a similar problem with a twist. I know my system supports standby as I have
the same setup on another drive which works fine. My latest installation does not?
Cannot find any solutions that address this problem.

Hi guys and gals,
I have a problem with a Dell Latitude D800 that i've been using, till a while ago
the hibernate and standby worked fine, now recently i had a look and found that both
dont work, first the hibernation tab disappeared and then the standby is always faint(aka
inaccessable), i changed the hdd on the same system and installed a fresh copy of
2000 and XP(once with SP1 and once with SP2), yet none of that helped, the hibernation
tab refuses to come back. I checked the BIOS with another laptop of the same make(where
the hibernate works) and the BIOS was identical, yet nothing. Am totally baffled
about this. any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks mate,
J

My laptop suspended and hibernated well. Then I installed a spice analysis program
that required a hardware key on the parallel port. Apparently that program figured
that you are never going to want to suspend or hibernante again, maybe because you
are perhaps doing a long analysis and don't want to shut down during that, so it
took away the ability to hibernate or to suspend. I wish they would say that they
were going to have that effect.
Other software decides you must not want to hibernate or suspend if you are installing
their software. So, beware.
So if it could hibernate, and now it can't, probably some program removed that ability.
Sometimes it is a networking program. You don't want to timeout and shutdown if
you are serving files.
Or it could be a corrupted file.

I have the same problem. I just reinstalled windows XP Pro. The standby option
was avilable and worked in the prior installation. But since I reinstalled, it just
have not been there. Since it was there and worked fine, I know I am ACPI compliant
and all coudl be OK.
If anyone knows, please let me know what I can do.

I have installed xp into a vmware session and no Standby and no Hibernate was available
under
Power Options.
Then I have installed VMware tools and after the reboot the "Hibernate" tab was available
but Standby still not selectable in the options (therefore I think to get the Hibernate
tab you need to install the correct driver. For VMware it was only necessary to install
the SVGA driver!!! Nothing more. Only here was a yellow questionmark in the Device
Manager which disappeared after installing the SVGA driver).
I have had no success to get the standby option enabled by enabling the power savings
in the BIOS.

Check BIOS version.
Problem: Dell Latitude C640 Power Options standby and hibernate tabs and dropdowns
did not appear. ACPI was enabled. BIOS version was a06.
Solution: Tried upgrading to a09 but still nothing. Then I download C600_A10 BIOS
drivers (I used R71684.exe). Tabs appear and dropdowns
I'm guessing here - It's possible apparently same motherboard might need upgrade
(or downgrade), or even just the act of redoing the BIOS (same version or different)
might jog something loose and get the problem fixed.

I took a look at that website but it didn't got me further for the simple reason
that I have NO hibernate tab availeble anymore. My PC supports/supported it. The
tab just dissapeared a few weeks ago. Also the Stand-by button is dimmed here.
Does anyone know how to reactivate it? I already reinstalled my motherboard-drivers.

hi all,
I think this issue has actually been answered above (can't remember the name of the
chap).
Anyway, the answer is to update or reinstall your Chipset Driver. That's all you
have to do as it has all to do with the Chipset on your Mobo and it the control
over the ACPI.
If the problem is still there, I bet you would've been installing a wrong driver
for the Chipset - the tips is use the original driver that comes on the CD when you
purchased your Mobo or PC.
Hope this helps

Yeah, thanks! I also had the same problem, after reinstalling XP...no hibernation.
But after installing the video driver for the laptop, hibernation appeared! Thanks.
