Hi Gurus : I recently bought a used HP laptop(nc6240 model I think) for my cousin. Has Windows XP professional on it.<br />
<br />
It does NOT have STANDBY mode enabled (its there but cannot click on it) &amp;&nbsp;only allows shutting down or Restart. Can you please tell how to enable STANDY mode. I will assign points promptly.<br />
<br />
Thanks &amp;&nbsp;Regards

How to enable Standby mode in Windows XP

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
