Restoring Shut Down Menu--Win 98 SE
I have a Dimension XPS R450
Normally for shut down the menu that appears is Standby--Restart--Restart in MS Dos
I have never used the Standby but a few days ago clicked it to check the response
Although computer remained on with a dark screen I could not get it to "wake up" or start responding as I had expected. Finally had to press manual off button on console to shut it down then same buton to start again.
I did not get scolded for improper shut down but after startup I noticed that the shut down menu is now missing the Standby option. I called Dell Support on it and was told to go to Programs--Accessories and should find a Restore System Option there. Not found. Support told me not to worry as was not necessary for computer operations.
I would still like to get it back if possible
Anyone?

You can restore the Standby option using the procedure given here but standby is notoriously unreliable on desktop systems and if you do restore it there is a better than average chance that it won't work and if it does it will eventually fail. Frankly, I don't believe it's worth the effort to restore it, particularly since you never used it.
