All the source files are there just to satisfy the curiosity of developers.
This latest version of SCPowerTool was compiled with MSVC 2008 on a Vista 64bit system. I tested it on that system and on a XPPro 32bit system and it worked just fine for me. So I'm not sure what's going on here. Do you have any alarms set on any players? Do you have the "end of day" feature enabled? If the answer to either of those is "yes"...AND, if you disable the alarms and/or EOD AND if suspend via SCPowerTool.exe then starts working...THEN I think I might have an idea about what's going on here. Would you be willing to try a couple of things? 1). Make sure there is only 1 copy of SCPowerTool.exe in any folders contained in the PATH. You should be able to use the XP file search function for this. 2). Try running SCPowerTool.exe straight from windows explorer, with no command line arguments. Do you get the "about" box..i.e. does it run at all? 3). Try runnning SCPowerTool.exe with "--standby --log" from start->run. Does it work there? 4). In the SrvrPowerCtrl settings, make sure you include "--log" on the SCPowerTool.exe command line. Then check the log: SCPowerTool.log, in the same folder as the EXE. Is it there?
