    Okay, so I have a bit of a problem here. Earlier I was turning off my comp and was about to put it in Standby when I noticed I couldn't. The button for it is greyed out and unclickable. My computer takes forever to turn on, so I don't feel like turning it off. It's been working for me for the past few years, and it all of the sudden stopped today, when I didn't seem to do anything. Anyone know a solution to this?

    Try this one:

    From the Kelly's Corner link, this one seems to be the most appropriate.

    The first search result in the first link Pete posted helped me. It explained it pretty clearly.
