    Hi All,

    I have recently installed XP Professional with SP3 on my XPS M1530 following the "step-by-step guide" on this site. Everything is working great except that the laptop does not wake up from standby/sleep mode.

    Can you please help with this, please tell me what drivers should i install to resolve this issue. I will be very grateful for your reply.

    Regards,
    Abbas.

    Hi, thanks for your prompt reply. But you know what ? I installed the driver from the link you gave, it solved my problem, however, it gave birth to two new issues.

    1. Whenever I wakeup the laptop from sleep, the wireless connection is disabled and I cannot enable it for some reason unless I reboot. I tried reinstalling wireless driver.
    2. The computer doesn't shut down. It stays forever on the "Shutting down the computer" blue screen forever unless I press n hold the power button for a few seconds.

    Any Help ?????
