Hello,
under Vista SP1 i found that the VBox (newest version) Networking driver causes long delay while going into standby (not hybrid, if i uninstall VBox its ok).
Anyone adressed this little problem? I found nothing in this forum and the web...
Thanks for any idea

How long does it take with and without Vbox loaded?

Sorry, thought it could be better to post in german and my little english
But your question: without installed virtualbox standby needs only a few seconds, with it 30-40 seconds, vista says the driver causes delay for 30 or 40 sec, however.
Tested it under windows 7 rc, same problem, fresh install: 5 seconds to standby, virtualbox installed: 30 seconds or more delay. With WinXP there was no delay (older version of vbox)
not a big problem, because standby and wakeup works, but a little bit annoying.

Thank you for understanding,

From my reading on the Vista Standby issues there are a lot. From video drivers to file signings that take Vista a long time to deal with. I will do more research and testing in this matter.

Yes, i found some information about standby issues in vista, but nothing about this special problem. I don't think that i'm the only one who has this delay with VBox driver.

If i look at > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Performance Information and Tools > Advanced Tools, Vista says "Drivers causing windows to stand by or hibernate slowly...",
VBoxNetflt.sys and vboxnetadp.sys will prevent a quick standby. But why? Are this two drivers not perfectly adapted to vista? I hope the programmers will find an resolution, but it seems that at this time nobody has recognized this as a bug...i found nothing at the bugtracker.

I am sure that they probably already know this but just in case:

• Please use the public Bugtracker to raise a ticket on this issue. You will first need to register for a wiki user account (this is different to a forum account sorry) and then you can logon to the wiki and raise the ticket.

I too am having problems with VirtualBox and standby. I'm running Windows XP. The problem started when I tried to upgrade from 2.2.2 to 2.2.4. The upgrade stalled, and I had to do a hard power down. Since then, my system won't go into standby at all. I left it sitting at the Preparing to Stand By screen for 8 hours. It never completed. I was finally able to get VirtualBox off my system using Revo Uninstaller. Stand by functionality immediately returned.
