I have a Dell Dimension 3000 desktop. When I come out of standby I get a message that says "mode not supported" and my cursor freezes. I need to do a shutdown and restart to get my cursor back in operation.
Standby and Hibernate should not be used on a desktop, for reasons exactly like the problem you have. It's been noted many times on this forum and even by a Dell support person. Standby and Hibernate were originally designed for laptops to conserve battery power.
The general suggestion is to ONLY set the monitor and hard drive(s) to "power off" at a selected time, nothing else.
