Knowledge is a key of success.



 
I dont know if this is what you mean, but:

Right click Desktop->Properties
Click the Screensaver tab, then hit the Power button near the bottom.
Click the Advanced tab...
Where it says "When I press the power button do this" just poke around in there and something may jump out at you about that... something may not be set to use Standby mode, it may just say "Shut down when I hit the power button"

Those wont be exact words obviously, but poke around and you may find something.
 
Greyed-out STAND BY button (No HIBERNATE tab either)
