I have a friend that always puts his computer in standby instead of turning off his computer all the time and doesn't like leaving it up.  When he went to put it in standby yesterday the button wasn't lite up, it was as if it had be disabled and he was wondering what would made it do that.  He is running XP and hasn't done any updates recently.  Can you help me in being able to get his stand by button back working for him.  Thanks
