Help please, my standby power scheme option will not hold in standby. The key board option will not hold, maybe a few seconds. The start option does the same thing. I really did use and like this option. Only new change I can think of is the modem. Went to a 4200 Windstream(SpeedStream) because of slow connection on the older ?6200 ? I have many new Indian friends that say it is not the modem.Need a slow walk through,don't understand this problem. Don't understand computers!!
Could be the problem has another source?
Thanks
2. In the device manager open a device that uses "Power Management", such as a Network Adapter by clicking the plus sign next to it. - An easy way to access the device manager is to use the key combination "Windows Key + Pause/break", go to the "Hardware" tab and click the device manager.
3. Right-click the child icon that shows up under the Network Adapters category
4. Left-click properties
5. On the top will be a "Power Management" tab
6. Make sure you uncheck the box that says, "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby".
* There are other devices that use this power management function. One that I know of is Mice, you will have to figure out which it is.
Fuzzyw---, Could not find a child icon. Under Net Adapters I have 1394 Net Adapt and Intel(R)Pro 100VE Net Connection as two choices. Fearful of moving on.
