Comp won't standby, turns off instead

[Skip]

I might have confused you as I did myself on one of my
resposes.What I meant about the power scheme settings
was, If you set your monitor and hard drive settings to
shut off at a set time(your choice) you don't need to go
to standby, just leave computer running and the settings
I suggested will put the system too sleep and all you
need to do is move mouse to come back on.That is why I
said to set standby to never.If you still want standby to
opperate make sure it is set to something other then
never.
