Jo:

Isn't sleep mode, the same as standby?

And can't she just (like the steps to do the shutdown), only it give you options, and one of those options is STANDBY??

I don't have Vista so I don't know.

Oh, about the speakers. I asked her "did you have sound earlier? and she said "I had sound all day, (so it can't be drivers, right??)

thanks much.
