when I went to power options the standby option was greyed out. I could not click it, even after adjusting various power options.
I have Windows XP Media center 2005 and Knoppix 3.8.
My computer has a gig of RAM an AMD Athlon X2 processor. I'm not quite sure about my mainboard, though.
I scanned it completely with Norton Internet Security 2007, Webroot Spysweeper and the basic performance tools that come with Windows.
I tried other sites for people who had my problem and found one that said an NVIDIA driver was causing it. I unistalled the driver, and then my computer wouldn't boot at all! The screen would just flash gray and black like I said before. When I tried safe mode, I would get as far as the welcome screen but mouse and keyboard wouldn't work. I tried the most basic ball mouse and standard keyboard that I could find, but neither worked. Then I decided that it wasn't worth fixing and even if i fixed it, it may have still had major software problems. So in the end, I re-installed Windows lol
Thank you for all of your help though. I may try a newer version of Knoppix on another computer. It was a great OS while I used it!
