Just another design "feature" of Windows. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ |

power option properties
I don't think that this is true. A limited user account too can set Power
Options settings. I am currently log in to a Limited Users account and I can still change Power Scheme settings. Dimitry, have you checked your Display/VGA drivers. Are they properly installed? Click Start - Turn Off Computer - check if "Standby" button is disabled here. If that is so, then you need to install your VGA drivers from your Motherboard or Display Card CD. You can also download them through your Motherboard's manufacturer or Card's manufacturer website. Hope this help, let us know!
