T-41 will not come out of standby

[Jim Mc]

Hi folks, this is an odd one to me. I have a T-41 w/ win2k. I have the power settings set to put the computer to standby when I close the lid. This it does, but, when I open the lid, it just keeps on standin by... I have to reboot the machine in order for it to come up. As I travel with my computer, this becomes tedious, to say the least. I make upwards to 20 stops a day, and the booting up is getting old. Are there any other things I should be looking at? Thanks in advance!

Try to keep pressed the Fn key several seconds until the laptop becomes alive.

I'm curious, why do you use W2K?

i don't think Windows 2000 supports the proper ACPI standards in order to have the system do what it's supposed to, it's designed for Windows XP.

I am curious too as to why anyone would want to use 2000 over XP? (or Vista for me hehe) XP is just as good as 2000 and even more secure than 2000 so what gives?

Win 2k- we have a homegrown software that has issues w/ xp. 2k handles our needs, and we don't feel the need or desire to go to xp (or vista) at this time. Thanks for your suggestions, I will try them both. Chances are I will reimage the machine, as it has a number of other issues.
