no stand by button

Hands up, I HAVE asked this before (different computer) but when I select 'turn off' the computer I the 'stand by' button is greyed out. How do I get it back?????

 

Check your energy management settings - myabe standby is disabled

control panel-Energy Management>standby tab

 

MANY thanks for replying. I am using XP and the nearest thing I have to energy management is 'Power Options' but this doesn't have a Standby tab. So I'm still stuck!

Update your video drivers.

 

And what about virtual memory,when in stanby do the RAM run,or is it dumped to the pagefile?

 

As far as I know, it is dumped to the page file.
