I have a strange problems on both my PC and Laptop, one running XP Home and the other running XP pro. Both of these machines will not enter standy mode if the setting is any greater than 2 minutes. 3,5,10,15,45 minutes, it doesn't matter, the computer just runs indefinitely. At 1 or 2 minutes, the computer will standy automatically.
The only thing I can pinpoint with both machines is that they are or had been running a version of Cisco Systems VPN Client, version 4.0.3. The XP Home machine used to standby just fine, but I installed the VPN, it never fully installed due to a digital driver signing issue, and it hasn't worked since then. I tried to uninstall the VPN client on the XP Home machine but Inot sure it is totally clean, I have to have it on the laptop with XP Pro for school.
Has any one else encountered this? I have been googling to no avail to try and find an answer. Both Gateway and Dell Tech support has been very little help.
Thank you, Brooks
