Flaky behavior with standby can sometimes be caused by mismatches

the case of older systems, flat-out inability to support

scondary monitor on the Vista laptop (and what a blessing that is,
to have two screens!), I had to tell Vista to never turn it off
while the system was on. It just would not come back to life.
Antedates "green" power options, alas.

On my XP/Pro system, if I set it to standby with Eudora running and
set to check mail every X minutes, Eudora would behave very strangely
on return. I don't want to send Paul chasing around the wrong tree,
so I'm holding off indicting standby for his NTVDM problems. I didn't
document the problem or troubleshoot it long enough to be of help.
And, of course, TAME produces anomalies all the time.
