SYMPTOMS

After you specify the Standby option on a computer that has an ATiXpert 98 XL video adapter, the system appears to continue running. The system fan continues to operate, and the system appears to resume when there is input from the keyboard or the mouse.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because the system does not actually enter "sleep." The software driver for the ATiXpert 98 XL video adapter does not properly communicate to the operating system the data that is required to allow the system to sleep.
