Why doesn't my laptop standby/hibernate

huntleth · 04-03-2007, 08:20 PM

I have a Dell Inspiron 1000 with XP Home SP2 (was SP1 but i dl'd SP2).

It doesnt go on standby, even though it is set to after 15 minutes. The hibernate option is also blocked out. When i go to power settings, there is no hibernation option where there usually is. I have heard of others with dells having this problem but couldnt find a solution anywhere. Is there a patch or anything?

Go to Device Manager choose Devices by connection from View menu.
Check if on the top (almost) in the righ window is ACPI...
