Recently after a power failure when I restarted my XP Pro, I noticed that the Standby option is now disabled and hibernate support no longer available in Power options.
It is properly set in BIOS, and was working well with XP before that power failure.

I think somewhere something might have got corrupted due to power failure. I tried reinstalling the graphics card driver but no luck…any clues how to solve this, I wish to keep reinstall XP as the last option!!
Thx
