I have a year and a half old Presario 2701US laptop running Windows XP Home. Over the past few weeks the system has been just shutting down (needing a complete reboot) with increasing frequency. It got to the point where I could rarely get it to start up completely, and doing something...

I have a Deskpro EN (PII/450) on which I've installed Windows XP pro. It seems to run fine, but apparently I'm missing some drivers, because the machine won't go into standby mode or turn itself off. On the HP site I could only find drivers up to Win2K. Am I stuck like this, or is there a...
