SYMPTOMS
When you try to use Standby mode, you may be unable to do so.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur when an MS-DOS prompt is the active window (has focus).



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, note that Standby does not start until you either close the MS-DOS prompt, or shift focus to another program.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
