d'oh, i just deleted my whole text by just accidently pressing one key! f...! (sorry, but it took me one hour as i did several things parallely...)

well, i don't have the time to rewrite, so this is the short version of it:
firstly, my program does work under recent builds. cannot tell why i didn't when i tried (and i tried before and after a format) and now does on the same system with nothing relevant changed since then (at least i cannot remember).
secondly, standby mode doesn't work with any build (testet 3 from 2001 and 2002), seems to me that this is hardware-related

so thanks althougt i could have avoided this thread... :)
only thing left is the big logo i'm searching, maybe this'll be my next thread :)
