Cannot Shut Down, Restart, Log Off, Stand By, or Hibernate

When you try to put your computer into Hibernate or Suspend mode while the
system is writing data to a compact disc (CD), the computer may not enter
Hibernate or Suspend mode. You may receive the following error message (or a
similar one):
The device driver for the '%device name%' device is preventing the machine
from entering hibernation/suspend. Please close all applications and try
again. If the problem persists, you may need to update this driver.
You receive neither an informational message that the system is writing to a
CD nor an error message that offers you the choice of stopping the CD write
process or waiting until the process is complete.
This behavior occurs because you cannot put a computer into Hibernate or
Suspend mode while the system is writing to a CD.
To work around this behavior, wait until the CD write operation is complete
before you try to put the computer into Hibernate or Suspend mode.
Because the computer has already started to enter Hibernate or Suspend mode,
some devices may already be turned off. For example, a USB mouse or scanner
may be offline until you complete the Hibernate or Suspend process.
Hibernate option is missing:
Click on the start button and select turn off computer. Then hold down the
shift key and the hibernate button will be shown. Click it and your computer
will enter into hibernation.
