How to enable standby on Lenovo T400 running XP

I installed Windows XP SP2 on a Lenovo T400...I downloaded the drivers from the Lenovo site, and although there are still some devices in the device manager that are missing drivers, most everything that I need works except for one thing: The "standby" option is disabled when I click Start->Turn off the computer.

Is this an option that has to be enabled in Windows? Or will this option become available if I install some missing hardware driver that it needs (and if so, what hardware device would that driver correspond to?)

ACPI needs to be functioning for StandBy and Hibernation...

I would suggest that you update ALL drivers before hand, e.g. the chipset drivers...

Ben is right, my t400 with xp/sp3 goes to stby just fine, either choosing it, or just closing the lid for transport.
