[QUOTE="dvdfreak, post: 277876, member: 21313"] I had a similar problem on my laptop a few weeks ago, it just refused to go into standby when idle (64-bit Vista), while manual/forced standby worked just fine. Just when I was about to give up and throw the machine out the window I stumbled upon MCE Standby Tool ([url=http://slicksolutions.eu/mst.shtml]slicksolutions.eu/mst.shtml[/url]). This fixed my problem: the machine very nicely goes into standby now as it should. I unchecked some of my USB devices and also used some of its Vista specific options, so not sure [i]exactly[/i] what fixed it for me, but it works! :D You can either fully install the tool or simply run it once to check your standby settings. The latter should be enough I think. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
