[QUOTE="nfox, post: 676312, member: 24296"] If you go to the XP Power options menu (r-click on desktop, properties, screen saver, power button), under the Advanced tab there are two options available for when you press the power button on your pc, and when you press the sleep button on your pc. I have the power button option set to standby, and the sleep button set to do nothing. The important one here is the sleep button option as this is how the pc will react to a sleep command being sent from your remote. Regarding manually putting your pc into standby, if you use the option from within MP to put the pc into standby you should be OK (I do this with no issues), but you are advised not to use Windows options to do this. So, the way I have things set up, if my MP pc is running and I press the power button on my remote it switches to the home screen and stops any media that is playing. This means that after 5 minutes (in my case, 15 mins in yours) Powerscheduler puts the pc into standby. If I want to shut down the PC immediately I use the standby option from the power menu on the MP home screen. [/QUOTE]
