Iam not sure if this is the right category for this thread.. but anyways, i cant shutdown or standby my pc..when i select start-shutdown,the system restarts instead of showing me the confirmation message.. the standby option is not even present in the shutdown dialog box.. i desperately need the standby feature as i keep my PC on during the entire night.. iam using win2000.. is this a hardware defect?? i had no problems with these earlier...any help would be appreciated..thanx in advance

Your VGA drivers are not installed in your Windows. Install them and your problem will be solved.

Either install them from Motherboard CD or search them on your motherboard manufacturer website.
