PC sleeps too soundly
in [Windows XP]

From: Herzl Regev on 20 Jan 2010 10:30 My PC (WinXP Home SP2) is set to hibernate after some idle time. When left idle for about 30 nim. to an hour, it gets to a state in which the kbd or mouse are not enough to wake it up. Its power button is dark, and it necessary to push that button in order to wake the PC up. what can be done?
From: Bob I on 20 Jan 2010 11:26 Standby can be woken through the use of the keyboard or mouse as they are not powered off, Hibernate is a powered off condition that needs the Power button to be applied. You must decide which level of power saving you want as that will determine the method used to wake it up. Herzl Regev wrote: > My PC (WinXP Home SP2) is set to hibernate after some idle time.

From: Unknown on 20 Jan 2010 11:34 Do you mean standby? Hibernate is a power off condition.

From: 3c273 on 20 Jan 2010 14:26 On every machine I have, this is normal behavior for hibernate. Set it to standby and disable hibernate if you don't like this feature.

Set your system up the way that makes sense to you and then if it is malfunctioning we can fix it. http://www.timeatlas.com/term_to_learn/general/understanding_differences_between_hibernate_and_stand_by |
