failure to go into standby mode.

[1986jjack]

Windows XP (Home Edition) is suddenly refusing to go into
standby mode. A warning message says standby was
prevented by my keypad driver. This is the default 102 key
pad driver automatically loaded by Win XP. This is a new
problem. My system used to standby without problem. There
are four users in my family but the problem persists even
with all users logged out. I have current graphics and
soundcard drivers and I am not sure what changed to cause
the problem.

Try unplugging keypad then try standby.If this works,look
for stuck key.If not,look in device manager for problem
with keyboard.If this is a usb type,look for a 822603
Windows update....Good luck.
