Services and drivers that disable standby

Discussion:

Is there any tools/command to discover the services/drivers that disable
standby feature of Windows XP?

My Dell 620 can standby/resume with no problem for over a year, but now I
can't even see "standby" in the shutdown menu. I suspect it's because of
some services/drivers that I've installed/re-installed. Or maybe there are
other reasons? I believe it's SW issue since if I boot the machine with
another HD, standby works properly.

Sorry, this is kind of off topic. I suppose people here probably have the
information to help me.

Thank you,

Isaac Chen

Is "pnputil" in XP? In newer Windows, it can be used to say who vetoes power management.

No, there's no "pnputil" in my XP (Pro SP2). Any other tools/utilities/ways
(that work in XP)?

BTW, how can it be used, in Vista or newer Windows, to find out who vetoes
power management?

Thank you,

I do have powercfg in my XP. How should I use it to find out the drivers at
fault?

The difference between "powercfg /DEVICEQUERY all_devices" and "powercfg
/DEVICEQUERY S3_supported" (in my machine) is that the former contains the
following (while the later does not):

Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
Generic volume (019)
Microsoft Kernel System Audio Device
Microsoft Kernel Wave Audio Mixer
Microsoft WINMM WDM Audio Compatibility Driver

I don't think the list above help since it's basically the same as the one
from my coworker whose standby function works correctly.

I start to suspect some service or even application caused my problem.

Thank you,

Isaac Chen

C:\>powercfg /hibernate on
System does not support hibernation

I remember my machine used to be able to hibernate, not 100% sure though. I
used standby all the time, but seldom used hibernate.

BTW, there's no Hibernate page in my "Power Option Properties" control
applet, and no check box for me to enable hibernation, either. It used to be
there, AFAIR.

Thank you,

Does powercfg -a say anything? If /hibernate isn't more descriptive probably
not, but another random command to try at least.

Bummer, looks like they didn't start adding the veto list to the output
until Server 2003, which would give you a more descriptive reason for the
lack of support of these states.

Two things I can think of:

1) You didn't by any chance disable ACPI in your BIOS? I imagine that this
would be causing you a lot more problems than this, but what the hell.

2) Are you in VGA mode or not have drivers loaded for your graphics card?
The VGA driver doesn't support standby/hibernate, so you could get this.

I've tried PowerCfg (of Server 2003) and the result is the same.

1) I never disabled ACPI via BIOS or anything. I don't even know how. Last
time I checked, the BIOS in my Dell Latitude D620 doesn't seem to have a way
to disable ACPI. Device manager says my computer is an "ACPI Multiprocessor
PC", and I believe my BIOS setting is OK since standby works if I booted
from another HD.

2) I'm not in VGA (or safe) mode. I'm using dual monitors with driver from
nVIDIA (Quadro NVS 110M).

I've called Dell and they ask me to
a) install the latest Intel chipset driver
b) install the latest display driver
c) apply hotfix mentioned in Microsoft KB890356

I did as told, and still no standby/hibernate!

I've also googled for sometime and it seems lots of people experienced
similar standby/hibernate-feature-disappear problem like mine.

I don't know if I've installed any non-PNP drivers. Around the time my
standby feature disappeared, I installed a couple of USB (serial) drivers
and re-installed a WLAN driver.

I've tried to uninstalled the WLAN driver, but still no standby!

Is there any tool/command to see what non-PNP drivers were installed? It
might help me remember what I did around that time.

Thank you,

Isaac

This isn't really an appropriate question for this list (it's for people who
write drivers, not for end users with questions about them). But, I'll bite
anyway...

What does powercfg /a say? Not sure if this actually works on XP though.

I do not think the list above help since it is basically the same as the one
from my coworker whose standby function works correctly.
I start to suspect some service or even application caused my problem.
Thank you,

Sorry, this was powercfg and not pnputil.
Not in XP anyway.

C:\>powercfg /hibernate on
System does not support hibernation
I remember my machine used to be able to hibernate, not 100% sure though. I
used standby all the time, but seldom used hibernate.
BTW, there is no Hibernate page in my "Power Option Properties" control
applet, and no check box for me to enable hibernation, either. It used to be
there, AFAIR.
Thank you,
Isaac Chen
Try /hibernate on, it will tell what device imposes a veto.

C:\>powercfg /a
Standby (S1)
Standby (S2)
Standby (S3)
Hibernate

What legacy (non-PNP) drivers you have installed?

Post by Isaac Chen
I added
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\usb
"USBBIOSx"=DWORD:00000000
but still no standby/hibernate.
Thank you,
Isaac

I
cannot even see "standby" in the shutdown menu. I suspect it is because of
some services/drivers that I have installed/re-installed. Or maybe there are
other reasons?
please help me
