I have spent way too much time on this problem and all i have managed to do is waste a month of my life.
STR (supsend to ram) and hibernate modes work fine for me in w2k, but in windows me i get an error message that reads: your system could not enter a low power state mode because of your usb device and hibernate is nowhere in site. I disabled usb controller in device manager to see if i could then go into str mode, but then i get the same error message except this time it's for my scsi card and not for the usb device. My friends str and hibernate options work fine on his kt-133 chipset in windows me and with the same, latest, via 4in1 drivers. He does have some different devices under system devices in device manager which i havent been able to get. I really want to get this option working since in w2k my burner doesnt work and my dvd playback is shitty, plus windows me is better for 3d. Also, i live in cali and str would cut my power bill by a little. I remember seeing hibernate in windows me on an installation a while ago so i am sure my system can have these features in windows me again. I think i have to reinstall windows with proper bios settings to solve this. I know in win98 u have to do some /p j crap in dos before u install . Any help would be much appreciated.
bios settings:
acpi- enabled
pm controlled by apm- *yes (power management controlled by advanced power management, i think)
acpi suspend type: s3(str)
plug and play bios- *no (on installation of windows)
*i messed with these settings in the bios and then some, but it didnt help.
