Resuming from standby

[Steve Huckle]

Hi,

My parents have a desktop running XP Professional. Its
an Athlon with a Tyan Trinity K7 motherboard. They have
put the machine in standby mode, and nothing seems to
wake it up. We've tried every key on the keyboard (its a
wireless keyboard and mouse) and nothing works, nor the
power keys on the machine itself.

I tried logging an online call with Microsoft themselves
but they want a product id which I dont think I can get
without the machine coming out of standby. Catch 22
methinks :)

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Unplug the computer from the power line. This should reset it.

Press the power button for 4-5 seconds. The computer will reboot.

To fix the condition, go to device manager and look for your mouse and
keyboard. Remove any checks from the power option that say "allow this
device to bring computer out of standby".

Reboot! Try standby again. I think you find that, by a quick press on the
computer power button, the computer will wake up.

Investigate the standby subject via help/support. You will notice that it
needs to be supported by the mainboard.

Hi,

Ok, but now the machine is in standby, and possibly
unsupported by the motherboard, any ideas how to get it
out?

Tried pressing the power for 5secs but to no avail....

Thanks for your time,

Steve Huckle
