standby not an option in shut down menu cybermaksim 7/6/2007 1:12:07 AM Hello. I recently reinstalled Windows XP Pro SP2, and I have updated my video card (BFG GeForce 7950GT) to the latest drivers. When I go to the "Shut Down..." option in the Start menu, there is no option for "stand by" as there used to be. Can anyone please let me know how to get this option back? Thank you, Mike

Re: standby not an option in shut down menu cybermaksim 7/6/2007 2:20:01 AM No. I actually just got a new motherboard and rebuilt my system. It is an ASUS Crosshair. It's new, so I thought the drivers should be up to date. However, there is a utility for updating the BIOS (and possibly the chipset drivers too) called ASUS update. I will try that first.

Re: standby not an option in shut down menu cybermaksim 7/6/2007 3:20:00 AM I have reinstalled the latest chipset drivers and updated the BIOS to the most recent version. I still don't see the stand by option in the list.

Re: standby not an option in shut down menu cybermaksim 7/7/2007 1:48:01 AM I'm not quite sure what you mean by enabling the power features. Can you please be more specific or give some instructions? I think I have everything enabled that should be. I just don't see stand by as an option in the shut down menu. I don't know what else to check. My motherboard and video card have the most current drivers installed. Everything is a fresh install on my system. I can only think that maybe one of the ASUS utilities might be interfering with the windows shut down options, or that some setting in the BIOS needs to be changed. Thanks for helping me.
