Hi everyone.

My Windows XP Home Edition PC has suddenly decided that it doesn't want to go into standby mode anymore, even though all it's drivers appear to be working correctly. When I log off my account and try & put the machine in Standby, the fan carries on working & if I move the Mouse, I am immediately taken back to the log on screen, instead of my PC shutting down.

This has got me scratching my head, because it worked fine untill yesterday evening & Hibernation mode is still fully functioning.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Matt.
