Standby option accidentally disabled
Yesterday I placed by laptop on standby twice - and twice
it would not "wake up" from standby and so I had to power down and reboot (happens occasionally for me - maybe once every 2 weeks). On the second reboot, a box popped up saying that Windows noticed this problem - would I like to disable standby? I thought, "sure, it can't hurt," assuming I would just change my other power scheme options to turn off the hard disk when I wasn't home. I thought better of it this morning, and when I went to turn Standby back on, I found that it was now missing from my Power Management Properties! Does anyone know how to bring it back? I like having standby as an instant option to save electricity! Thanks! |
