[Fixed] Hibernate/Sleep problem

ddhaff · 10-02-2006

I have my power options set to go to standby after 15 min, and it used to work. I'm not aware of anything I've done to change it, but now when I let the computer sit unused for that time I get the following error msg.
"The device driver for the 'Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard' device is preventing the machine from entering standby. Please close all applications and try again. If the problem persists, you may need to update this driver."
I've checked that I have the latest driver, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled the K/B with no effect. I even installed a more generic K/B and still get the msg.
Any suggestions?

Hi ddhaff, welcome to the PCHF!

It may be worth a shot to try this.

Start -> Run -> sfc /scannow

make sure you have your window cd handy.

Thanx GaRHaR. sfc scanned ok with no resulting messages, and the problem still exists. Any other suggestions?

Hey ddhaff!

What kind of keyboard/mouse have you got connected?

Blue

Keyboard = "Microsoft Internet Keyboard". Mouse = "Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical" I also tried a plain old keytronic k/b with the same results.
