Hey, I just set up XP Media Center Edition 2005 on an old laptop and am thinking about using it as a car PC (for music only really, not video, etc). Power management will be critical if I am to do it though, and I'm having a few problems...
1. I have an admin account and a "car" account on it now, and hibernation and standby just don't work for the "car" account while they do work on the other. I have tried with the car account set as both an administrator and a limited account, and it doesn't work for either. It does work while logged in under the other account. Any ideas or fixes?
2. Is there a way to make it wake from standby and hibernation with input devices. Currently only the power button on the machine will bring it out, but it won't be in a convenient place if I put this in my car. Particularly I would want it to wake by hitting buttons on an IR Media Center remote. I couldn't find anything about doing this, so any help would be much appreciated.
The laptop is an old HP ze1115 for reference.
