I could never get standby to work correctly in XP for years. Tried on Dells and custom builts. Either it would not go into standby, or would not come out of standby.

A couple of things you should check:
1. If your PC has a Asus Motherboard ( or maybe a different brand) , make sure the USB jumpers are connected to the +5VSB pins ( if i recall correctly). This was extremely difficult to figure out with my Asus board.
2. Make sure your bios standby mode is set to S3 and not S1
3. Vista SP1 improves sleep compatibility

hm? I thought the PC is supposed to stay on with just the HDD shutting down and stuff when going standby.
Are you confusing standby with hibernation or am I confusing something?

Hibernate saves your PC memory to disk and shutsdown everything. Standby only shutsdown major hardware but leaves the PC in a low power mode that can be resumed instantly. With hibernation when you start the PC it goes all the way from POST to Windows loading and then windows just restores the previous state. Standby is like the PC has never been turned off.

Its a question of taste, personaly I like to standby the PC to save energy when I'm not doing nothing, but really like to just touch my keyboard and everything is just like when I left. It's also a nice thing to have in mediacenters, you can just "turn on" the pc to listen to some mp3/watch some movies without having to wait for the system to POST, boot, etc, etc....

well i'll be damned, after fiddling with bios and switching from ide to ahci sleep works all the time
altho my hd still in udma 6 mode instead of 7 at least sleep mode works how it suppose to
btw if u disable that hibernation file which is about 4 gigs big [at least for me], it goes to sleep instantly unlike before
for me sleep is more like a convenience rather than energy saving feature, if i'm not using pc for several hours and not dLding anything why should it be on, recovering from sleep takes couple of sec's unlike windows boot

that's because hybrid sleep writes the hibernation file everytime you put your computer to sleep, in case of a power outage.

Hey Mortibus, I'm having the same trouble, fresh install of BIE's March release of Vista 64bit, monitor goes off computer stays on, slightest movement from the mouse and it comes back on so I have to be quick on clicking so was wondering if you could be a little more specific where that hibernation file is.
