standby mode, won't wake up

Hello, I am having trouble with my system standby mode. I have always clicked start-shutdown-stand by instead of turning off my PC all the time. It usually would wake up when I moved the mouse. Now it will not. I have not changed the settings. The only thing I have done since it was working correctly is installing more RAM and installing a NIC card. Both of those and everything else works perfectly. What could be going on? Thanks,

patnshan, is it possible that during the process of installing the new stuff that your setting preference got changed? HTH. Ed in Texas.

Ed, I doubt it, as the RAM doesn't require any action on my part and the NIC card had a disc, which I used. It certainly is possible. How might I open these settings and what should I change? Thanks again for the response, Pat
