XP "Hybernate

[I-Ray]

I recently upgraded to XP-Home from ME and have one
unresolved issue (at this point).

When I chose "Hybernate" from the Shutdown menu, Windows
goes through the same action as if I were
selecting "Shutdown." The last screen I see shows the
Windows XP Logo and under it says "It is now safe to shut
down your computer." I have to go through a full boot-up
via re-set to get up and running again.

Does anyone know why it does not go into "Standby" mode?

Hibernate and standby are not the same thing. Standby keeps the system in
memory and powers off only peripherals for a fairly quick resumption.
Hibernate stores the system state on HD and then powers the machine fully
off.

"Hibernate" is very similar to "Shutdown" not "Standby." Hibernate
will save your current session to disk and then shut down the
computer. That means that if you have programs or files open, they'll
be restored next time you power up. (And you WILL have to power up,
go through the whole boot procedure.) It SHOULD NOT go to Standby mode.

Standby is where the computer goes into a low-power mode while keeping
the OS and programs and such loaded into memory. If you turn the
power off, you lose that. In Hibernate, you don't.

That's how I understand it, anyhow.

You and Walter are completely correct. I'd just add that I do not see the
"It is now safe ~~" message, ever, and wonder if it is a function of the
"modern-ness" of the PSU and / or whether it has a Pentium processor.
I have a P4 and a PSU built for P4s.

The difference pivots around AT vs. ATX power supplies in conjunction with
whether or not the machine is running with an ACPI or APM HAL and in the
latter instance whether or not automatic shutdown has been enabled. With an
AT power supply the power switch is an actual two way switch. With ATX power
supply, the power switch is an instantaneous type and the power supply state
is software driven. However an ATX machine with an APM HAL will typically
operate the same as an AT machine; i.e the system will skip sending the
power off command to the power supply.

Control Panel

OK. That's what I thought ;-)
I have an ATX PSU with the P4 12 volt supply, and with full ACPI on the
mobo.
