Hello Allan,
There is probably a filter driver that is hooking the keyboard driver.
So it's really the filter driver that is preventing hibernating but the
keyboard driver is doing the reporting.
Click " Start", and then click "Run".
In the "Open" box, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks), and
then click "OK".
Click the remote computer name, and then open the registry of the
remote computer.
In the registry of the remote computer, locate the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96B-E325
-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
In the right pane, look at the " UpperFilters " and "lowerfilters" value.
What are under those values? Do not just remove them since this affects
whether the keyboard might work or not.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

When I want to set my computer to hibernate (Windows XP
Professional), it comes up with:
"The device driver for the 'Standard 101/102-Key or
Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard' device is preventing the
machine from entering hibernation. Please close all
applications and try again. If the problem persists, you
may need to update this driver"
The problem does persist and the driver is fine. It
worked before but I don't know what has happened to make
it react this way. Could anyone help please?
