Default Cannot enter Standby mode

Whenever I try to enter Standby mode, all that happens is a screen comes up saying "preparing to enter Standby mode" or something to that effect, and just stays there.

Any ideas?

Yeah, I've been through the power options... standby and hibernate are on... I've even tried making a shortcut and running it that way, but it still won't work.

To be more specific I just want a list of the hidden files on the actual partition not in any other folders or sub-folders there... so C:*.* only (No WINDOWS or other Folders)
