    Then forget about power saving features. Microsoft never made them working 100%.
    What do you need them for in case of desktop?

    Hi Bill. Before you enter standby try shutting down all programs that are running in the system tray. Having a lot of progams running can cause a system to take a long time to enter standby.

    Not really a solution as standby is induced automatically as billf infers ....
