Well, my latitude didn't behave like this before the patch, but now I can
not let it <stand by> or it requires the power switch to bring it back to
life. If I restore my backup image it goes back to behaving like it did
before, which tells me it has nothing to do with hardware.
The patch has changed something in the OS that effects laptop Power
Settings but doesn't appear as a option. I have read through what the roll
up does and I don't see any mention of Power. I' guessing that this is a
unintended bug

After thinking about it, I realized that this laptop has three jobs, Print
Server, extra backup storage, and I use it to upload a weekly backup with ftp.
The only time I launch Internet explorer is to get updates that I don't
really need. I run System Works firewall and anti virus in the background,
probably don't need them. But in any case I am going back to my image file
and forget about any other updates.
Are you sure that all the "Allow this device to wake" settings are still
enabled in the NIC setup, etc...?

Check your BIOS settings as well. Maybe something there activated a sleep

I have a old 233CP Latitude that I use as a print server, and a few

I just did MS updates which now includes the new 2K roll up patch. After
I did the patch the laptop keeps going into a standby mode that is so
deep that I have to push the power button to get it back on line. My
fist thought was that they have changed a setting in the power setting
but none of the Power settings relating to this have changed. The only
thing that changed was that it required a log in from standby mode which
I just unchecked.
And yet instead of just going into a standby mode that a print request,
or a keyboard / mouse movement will bring it out of, it goes so deep I
have to press the power mode button to use it. I am about ready to
restore my backup because as is, it is unusable as a print server... any
ideas? This sucks, why can't MS ask you before it changes stuff like this!
