System doesn't Hibertante nor Stand By upon a specified time
in [Windows XP]
|
From: Urizen on 27 Jun 2010 00:28 Hello! I own a laptop running Windows XP Professional. In the past, the Power Schemes located in the Power Options Properties, which enable to configure when the laptop goes into "hibernation" or "stand by" upon a certain time, used to work fine. However, a few months ago they stopped working altogether. When the specified time is reached, the computer simply turns off the monitor for either configuration ("System standby After..." and "System hibernates After..."). The other Power Schemes configurations are working pretty well ("Turn off monitor" and "Turn off hard disks"). Such situation happpens either when the laptop is plugged in or running on batteries. Is there any way to restore the behaviour of the options that enable the computer to Hibertante or Stand By upon a specified time, so that they can work properly again? I am thankful for any help. Kind regards, Rui Nunes

From: Urizen on 29 Jun 2010 09:12 Thank you very much for replying back. There is no issue with any program running in the background as if I order manually the laptor to hibernate or sleep, it really does it. Is there any way to restore the factory files of the Power Schemes located in the Power Options Properties for the Windows XP Professional? I look forward to hearing from you.

It may very well hibernate or sleep if you manually order it. BUT, if you have it set for time such as 20 minutes but a virus scan occurs after 5 minutes of inactivity the computer will not sleep or hibernate. Display the task manager while waiting for sleep or hibernation to occur. > > Is there any way to restore the factory files of the Power Schemes located > in the Power Options Properties for the Windows XP Professional? > > I look forward to hearing from you. > > Best regards, > Rui Nunes > > "Unknown" wrote: > >> Check for something running in the background such as a virus scanner. >> "Urizen" <Urizen(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:DB983961-0CE9-4956-951D-4B1E543D12CB(a)microsoft.com... >> > Hello! >> > >> > I own a laptop running Windows XP Professional.
