Power down button & XP Standby problems

We're having problems with a K7N2 Delta-L not shutting down properly in WinXP.  After running 'Start | Shut Down | Shut Down', for some reason the system doesn't completely shut down.
Instead we get a message saying something like, "You can turn your system off now".  We have to hold the power button down for 5 seconds to get the system to shut down.
I've gone through the BIOS/CMOS setup, and didn't fing anything there that might cause the problem, though I could have missed it.  Could the problem be with XP settings?
I don't know if this is a related problem, but on the XP 'Start | Shut Down' window, 'Standby' is greyed out and disabled.
Any thoughts on this much appreciated.
Thanks,
Nat

>You disabled ACPI ... Enable it in the bios and then
>enable ACPI in the power options in the contrl panel.
Thanks... I ended up reversing the order, as I was already booted into XP.  Setting 'Control Panel > Power Options > APM' to 'Enable Advanced Power Management Support' got the system to shut down fully when shutting down XP.
A check of the BIOS/CMOS Power Management setting showed the ICPA function (which enables ACPI) disabled.  I guess XP is smart enough to work around BIOS.
However the Standby option in XPs Shut Down window is still greyed out.  I tried enabling Hibernation in XP's Power Options, but an enabled Hibernation icon appeared at shut down instead of a Standby icon.  When I tried to hibernate, XP couldn't reboot, and on 2nd boot offered an option to delete old settings and try booting again.  Thought I was headed to the Recovery Console there for a moment.
Anyone have any idea why there's no option to set Standby in XP's Power Options where the online help indicates the it should be?
Thanks again,
Nat

  • HT204266 Iphone 5 The power down button does not power down it locks the keys how do I make that go to power down?

    My iPhone 5 power down button does not power down it sounds like its taking a picture the locks everything up. The power down button and the home button. I want to smash this phone!!

    hello WallyWalsh, if this warning is showing up you might have to reset the homepage to the version that is used in firefox 4 & above (the old homepage will show the warning you have referenced). to change it go to firefox > tools > options > general & reset the homepage to the default (that's '''about:home''').
    to set up sync between your pc and the tablet, go to ''firefox > tools > sync'' & create a sync account - for detailed information about it please refer to [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]

    My screen won't work, i have tried turning it off but i cant swipe the power down button because my screen doesnt work. I have only had my iphone 4s for one day and this has happened, someone please help me.

    Did the trick!  Not sure what I did to cause the screen to go numb, but this worked perfectly!!!  I cleaned the screen and must have inadvertently selected something that locked the screen.  This perfect solution kept me from having to run to the Apple Store.  Many thanks.

  • Power On Button (From Standby)

    I just started (Last night and this morning) having problems powering up the mobile from standby mode
    I have to press the power button a couple of times to turn the mobile on
    Its seems to happen when I haven't used the mobile for a few hours

    If the suggestions above doesn't help, I suggest that you try to boot your phone into safe mode to see if the problem may be related to any 3rd party app that you have installed in your phone:

  • Eject/Power Down Hard Disk

    In Mac Pro, Leopard, after boot, I right click the Internal HD for Windows desktop Icon, selecting Eject and can hear it winding down.
    In Mac Pro, Windows 7, Computer Management->"Disk Management", Internal Disk 0 is Windows Drive with Vista & Windows 7 OS's. Internal Disk 1 is Mac OS X - Leopard which I've set offline via right click.
    In "Device Manager" I've disabled ATA Channel 1 Controllers and Drive for Disk 1. After reboot, I no longer see Disk 1 in "Disk Management".
    My question: is Drive 1 still needlessly powered up & spinning? With Mac Pro side panel off no lights I see indicate either drive to be operating, vibration seem same for both to the touch.

    Further information after no response on this in either Windows 7 or Mac Bootcamp Forums:
    in Mac Leopard side of Mac Pro, iStat widget, recommended by Apple, powers up the ejected drive to display among other useful information, the drive temperature of 99-101 while Mac drive is at 88 degrees.
    My wish in submitting here is to find out how to power down an internal drive that is not in use in the active Operating System, to conserve power usage and maybe prolong computer/drive life span.
    If this was an IBM mainframe and I needed to access data written beyond end of file due to IBM software error, I could do it with Assembler & XDAP Macro, or, more urgent, if the VTOC of a Drive was damaged making it inaccessible, I could use Superzap to fix that. I could probably say how to power down a disk drive without pushing the device power down button if, in that scenario, I had ever had to do so before.
    Surely this not an impossible thing to do in a Microsoft OS.
    Mainly posted for Windows 7 feedback. If I get an answer, will post here for anyone in the same boat.

  • Muvo T200 Won't Power down or pause

    I bought a muvo t200 for my husband for his birthday (as a match to my own). Aftger upgrading the firmware to .03.03 it will turn on, but won't pause or power down. About one in three times, pressing the power down button causes it to either skip to the designated shortcut or go to the options. the rest of the menu seems to be working ok.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance for helping out!

    Can you try resetting it to see if that helps?
    Insert and remove a straightened paperclip from the Reset Hole.
    If this does not work, you probably need to format the player.

  • How do I stop an app from waiting?  I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down.  Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop with no success.  Can you help?  Thanks.

    How do I stop an app from waiting?  I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down.  The app is still grayed out and waiting so it cannot be deleted.  Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop and tried downloading new appswith no success.  Can you help?  Thanks

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • Screen froze. Lights up. Unresponsive to touch or button pressing. Won't charge or power down. What do i do?

    Last night my problem began around Midnight. I went to open an app and the ipod froze on that app screen until 4 am..at 4 am i was then able to power the ipod down..i had pressed the buttons so much trying to fix the ipod that again the screen froze with the power down option on the screen..while trying to power it down..the screen AGAIN froze and now only has a dim light. Ipod is unresponsive to me pressing the buttons...the light won't go dim and i'm not sure if it's even killing the battery..anyone know a way to fix this? I plug in the ipod but nothing happens..?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Iphone 4s has vertical lines all across the screen and will not power down unless it is charging. What is the problem here?

    My iphone 4s recently stopped turning on. I left it alone on the charger for a few days and now will power on just fine. However I have vertical lines going across the entire screen. I also noticed that it will not power down and stay off unless it is connected to the charger. Is this a hardware problem?

      Try to Reset your device. 
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

    My 6th gen nano ipod stopped working. I figured it was because it was next to my sweaty body, so put it in rice. I sought help from internet and tried all of the troubleshooting steps; i.e pushing down the power button and the volume down button consecutively, plugging it in to a power source, waiting 10 minutes and pushing the buttons while it was plugged in. Nothing has worked thus far. Is there anything else that I can try?

  • Love my new ipad.  But after upgrading to ios7 Safari became dodgy.  Now it is frozen in a white screen and nothing will free it.  Everything else on the ipad works fine. I deleted data, history, cookies, etc.  Same problem.  No change after power down.

    Everything worked fine on my new ipad.  After I upgraded to ios7 it still worked fine even if it looked very different.  But Safari started acting strangely (it is starting the same thing on my iPhone 4s, too).  Finally, it froze in state with no URL, no keyboard will come up, I can get Safari to close and start, but not actually function.  I went into settings and deleted all the cookies, data, history, and so forth.  Same state.  I powered down the iPad and restarted.  Same state.  I tried a trick were I held down the button to bring up the power down stripe and then holding down the home button.  Same state. 
    What can I do?  Can I delete Safari and re-install it somehow?  Should I take it to an Apple store?

  • N8 Nokia recognized the problem Power Down-Power U...

    Hi all
    Nokia assume that a "small" number of Nokia N8 can have a defect that causes the power down and power up problem.
    See the interview.
    http://conversations.nokia.com/2010/11/18/evp-niklas-savander-discusses-nokia-n8-quality/
    At least a feedback from Nokia about this problem.
    Nokia N8 / N9 / Lumia 920 White

    I just bought and pickup my new N8 from Batelco, as soon as arrived home, I unpacked and only to find out that its not charging and not even opening.
    If they recognized the fault, they should at least informed the customer or the supplier itself or distributor about this fault so as not to have this worst experience of my life. A brand new and costly phone is not worth having this kind of problem.
    Bad thing was, when I told them about the problem, they send me right away to customer service instead of replacing it with new one.
    Guys from Nokia, you should do better than this, its not healthy for your company to have such lousy and problematic phone.

  • IPhone 3g - I have to power down to change screens.  The button is not working.  What do I do?

    The button on my IPhone 3G is not working to change screens.  I have to power down every time I want to change screens say from phone to the facebook app.  I've tried cleaning out the connection with an air blower.  It did seem to help at first but now, nothing helps.  Thanks for any and all help you can give me to try to solve this issue.

    Try resetting the SMC.
    MacBook and MacBook Pro with a battery you can remove

    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer
    To reset the SMC on newer Mac portables with a battery you cannot remove
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.  
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Power down Problem

    Sometimes when i got to hold down the play/pause button to power down my I-Pod it wont turn off the screen just dims and then light up again when i let go. It is really annoying and i have to let it sit for like 5 min before it will shut off. Any suggestions?

    That happens to me a lot. The only way to get around it for me is to play a song and wait until the backlight dims. Then, I hold down the play button and it powers down successfully
