S/by & Hibernate options missing using nVidia drivers

asheet · 08-11-2008, 08:42 AM

Hi

I have eVGA 8800GTS 320MB SC PCIe.

I am using WinXP with SP3. However after I have loaded nVidia driver v178.x, the s/by & hibernate options have stopped working. I don't want to revert to older version of drivers. So how can I enable the s/by & hibernate options? I have already tried using ctrl panel & some sw tools but with no sucess.

Pl advise

Hmmm... Probably those drivers are incompatible with Hibernate/Standby features. Are the drivers properly installed? You may want to check out post #8 here:

to the best of my knowledge s/by and hibernate options are disabled if u dont have the correct display drivers. i dunno too much abt the nvidia drivers which u v installed

Do they work before installing the drivers?

Yes, the option was working earlier...
However I read in some other foreign forums also that the nVidea drivers has this issue
