S3 Standby assistance
I am building a client machine so I can get HD to another TV and am trying to work out the details as it relates to the hardware.
I have read many threads on how to enable S3 standby as far as motherboard settings and changes in the Windows XP registry, but I am wondering if anyone here can give me some real world advice on how to enable this. So far it turns out that I had jumpers on the motherboard to keep the USB 1&2 ports powered as well as the PS2 ports. So far, I have only had success getting the computer to come out of standby with the keyboard or mouse and NOT the streamzap remote plugged into the usb port. There is also supposed to be settings in the device manager to tell windows to keep power to the usb devices, but I have no such setting. I did, however, find power management settings in the usbroot hub, but the setting to keep that powered in standby is greyed out and not selectable. Another thing I noticed was that when I used my GeForce MX4000 video card, all fans would go into standby, but when I inserted my new 6600gt card, the video card and cpu fans would not longer turn off in standby. Is this normal? Look forward to any advice...

Did you ever figure this out?
I don't think the Streamzap supports bringing the PC out of Standby. If your fans are running you are probably in S1 not S3.

Sounds to me like the 6600 drivers are not right and Windows is not allowing ACPI power management. If any component is not set up correctly, Windows will only allow basic power management.
Streamzap will not wake a PC from hibernation. Fans run in S1 and S3 with basic power management, not in S3 with ACPI power management in my experience. With ACPI it seems that S3 is actually S4 but called S3. If I am wrong, please correct me. This is from my experience using ACPI and save-to-disk hibernation

Hi,
I wrestled with this for quite some time a while back (so it is a little foggy now) and finally got my client machine working quite nicely. I bought an MCE remote RECEIVER (not the MCE remote)--it is just a small circuit board that sits INSIDE my case. I placed the EYE thru a hole in the front of case and added an MCE remote to my Harmony 880 remote programming. I now put the client on standby with remote and bring it out of standby also with Harmony remote. Randy
