Would you be willing to try the ReallyPreventStandby plugin? I made some modifications to PreventStandby about a year ago seeking to solve the same problem that you're describing here. Eventually, those changes, after some modifications by Michael H, made it into the 7.4 release. Give ReallyPreventStandby a try and see if it works: http://srvrpowerctrl.googlecode.com/files/ReallyPreventStandby.zip
PreventStandby & ReallyPreventStandby both try to keep a system awake by using the Windows kernel SetThreadExecutionState API. It's possible, I suppose, that the MCE Standby Tool somehow causes the system to ignore calls to SetThreadExecutionState. I'm going to try to do some more testing on my Windows 7 machine over the next couple of days and I'll report back what I observe. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
