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.


All I can suggest at this point, is check for changes.

Did you use System Restore recently, and restore to an older point in time ?

If you have an Asus motherboard, did you have a "System failed due
to CPU overclock" error ? As some motherboards, they reset the BIOS
to default values, after an event like that. The user does not need
to be overclocking the system, for that to happen - it can happen
if the computer experiences a "dirty shutdown", such as the loss
of power in the middle of a session. That might be enough
to trigger changes to BIOS settings.

I'm looking for any changes, that might be invalidating the new settings.
