MrChris Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) XP SP2 all windows updatesToshiba Satellite A55-S306 LaptopI noticed the other day that the option to use standby was greyed out. It used to work but not anymore. Also when I go into power options in control panel If I enable hibernation and close the power options and go back into it its disabled again. All ACPI options are enabled in my BIOS.

Zachariah Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 do you have enough free space on the drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChris Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Yes, There is plenty of free space, about 70GB! And I am mainly needing to get the Standby option back. But hibernation would also be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Check to make sure that you have the latest video drivers. If you do, uninstall and reinstall them. The video drivers are what allow you to enter standby and hibernation, so if they've become corrupt, then you might end up with the problem you describe.

cluberti Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Network drivers can keep a machine from being able to power down too - make sure those are the latest version for your laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
