Media Centre -S3 settings -- Help!!

karltimber

I have tried a few times to setup s3 -mainly the system going back into s3 after a sched recording - and want ye to check my s3 settings.

Power setup in Bios settings.
ACPI Standby status --S3
Re-call VGA Bios from s3 --auto
Suspend time out (min) -- 12


Power Schemes in control panel.
Turn off monitor -- never
Turn off HD -- 5 mins

System standby -- 12 mins
System hibernate -- never

Power Button.
When I press the power button -- standby
When I press the sleep button - standby

Under the Hibernate tab
Enable hibernation is enabled.

Hopefully some-one can see whats wrong with these settings.
I can put the system into s3 and back out ok with everything working.
But if I put it into s3 for a sched recording -it doesn't return to s3 after the recording has finished.

thx folks,

Is that any use to you?

just thinking out loud here !!!

I have a usb dongle connect for wireless access, which will costantly scan for a connection - could this be keeping it alive.

If so - is there a setting for this --that would help ??

Thx

I have read that before --but will scan again - thx

The main problem is -- S3 is working fine -- just not post sched recording.
There is something obviously keeping the system awake ???

Thx
