MCE Standby Tool (MST) produces errors and doesn't recognize activity

[vletoh]

After installing the latest (stable) MST tool on MCE 2005 and initial configuring, it produces consequently an error at starting it up from the system tray: CreateMutex: Failed. Either on a regular user account and on a administrator account. Though the app seems to work...
A bit inconceivable that such a widely used app contains such an obvious bug at starting up.

Anyway, I use MCE also as a file server for my home network. However, MCE Standby Tool does not recognize any activity on my MCE from remote computers. As a result the machine flips between standby and resume each 15 minutes (I've set the idle interval to 15 minutes).
Obviously it doesn't notice any (network) activity from remote computers, so it puts the system in standby after 15 minutes. Immediately after this it recognizes activity on the network card which resumes the computer again. Quite annoying!

A couple of months ago I came across a program that also puts the system into standby, but based on the screen saver. The screen saver settings allowed configuring all kind of activity settings. Can anyone point me where I can find that program? Unfortunately I can't find it anymore.

Thanks.

Thanks wraak! I was a bit mislead by the term "hibernate" but it is able to suspend as well.
