My computers (desktop and/or laptop), XP Pro SP3, will Hibernate and
Stand By just fine.
If in Standy By and properly configured, I can wake them from the
mouse, keyboard, NIC, Scheduled Task or some third party programs that
needs to update will wake it.
If in Hibernate, I can only wake it from the power button (I tried all
the Stand By wakey wakey methods). The only thing that works from
Hibernate is the power button.
It might be nice (or annoying) to have XP wake up from Hibernate from
those other methods, but I know mine does not.
Is my system malfunctioning?
