Default Windows XP SP3 issues with Standby and coming out of Hibernation

Well, I was not as successful as I had originally thought. It seemed to go
into Standby and wake up on movements of the mouse and keyboard but it has
since stopped. I really thought Dumppo was the hot set up.
I checked in the registry and the line is still there, i.e.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\Control\Session Manager\Power\PolicyOverrides
with the following value: 04 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 ff ff ff
ff - 00 00 00 00 ff ff ff ff

Does any one know what the strings are for Standby and Hibernate in the
windows system folder or windows32 folder. Is there any way to create a
desktop shortcut for Standby? I know you can create a desktop shortcut to
Hibernate, see following offered by HTH & GL:
You go to your desktop, right click and create a new shortcut, then
for the location type in one of the below commands :

Shutdown: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s
Reboot: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r
Logoff: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -l
Standby: %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState
Hibernate: %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState

If you notice the shortcut is configured the same for Standby and Hibernate.
The hibernate works.

trying all combinations of BIOS settings S1 and S3 etc. and have not been
able to find anything that remotely appears to be a fix. Has any one every
and any luck with solutions to either or both of these problems? Has any
one
ever found a sure fire fix for what appears to be a very common problem,
obviously possibly caused by a multitude of configurations.
Under this present installation of Windows Standby has worked and woke up
on
movement of the mouse or the key board. I have never been able to get any
of
my computers to wake up form Hibernation, it always requires pressing the
start button.
It sure would be nice to locate a fix or to communicate with someone who
has
found solutions to these annoyances.

Have you tried "dumppo" utility ?

The BIOS Power Management options will include some "wake on" settings.
It would include things like PME (if you want the computer to wake
on LAN for example). PME is the signal on the PCI bus, that allows a
NIC card to wake the computer. There will also be settings in there
for keyboard/mouse, wake on Ring for a modem, and so on.

For wake on settings to work on some computers, for things like keyboard
or mouse, the USBPWR or PS2 Power jumper has to be set to +5VSB. On more
modern systems, the jumper blocks for this are no longer present, and
all devices run off +5VSB anyway. So then, this is taken care of for you.

In Device Manager, you can find some entries like "allow this device to
bring the computer out of standby".

There are a few places to look.

You can also take a look in Event Viewer, look for .dmp files, for
evidence the system is actually crashing during shutdown.
