can't come back from STANDBY

[mrfixall]

I know that there are issues with win98_se and standby and I have one of them.If I go to standby for a short time,less than 1 hour there is no problem in starting up again.However,when trying to use standby for many hours or say overnight the screen remains black with the blinking horizontal slash in the upper left corner.I know of many other machines having the same problem.Has anyone come up with the "fix".I have searched the threads and can't find it.

I personally do this as part of my shut down & power managemment ,
using W98seupg .

During boot up , press Delete & in the Power Management page , make
sure it is set to Disable .

During install , no screensavers are selected . To remove , there
are many ways . One is to Open up Control Panel , select Add/Remove
Programs & click on Windows Setup . Go down to Accessories & click
on details . Untick Screensavers .

While Control Panel is open , click on System , then Device Manager .
Click on the + next to System devices ( down the bottom ) & if Advanced
Power Management support ( or a similar name ) is there , delete it .

I then setup Power Management ( In Control Panel ) the way I like it ,
( Power schemes , Always on . Then set the screen to shut 1st & the power later ) I never have any problems .

If the system is atx in your bios you have your acpi power settings for mine I set soft power on meaning when my system stands by I press my power button and it slowly and painfully comes back it usually takes a minute to work though if you set it to minimum power savings you can choose how the system reponds to standby.
