No choice for Standby

[Joe]

I have a new computer running XP Home. It would not
enter into standby due to a msg that said the driver for
com2 was preventing that from happening

I had difficulties with several programs mainly Outlook
Express Spell Checker and finally had to do a repair
reload on XP. Since the repair which reloads some
drivers I no longer have the option of going to standby
in the START/Shutdown function and also under the Power
Options it no longer shows standby in a window as being
available as it did before. I only have the monitor and
HD sutdown options available which don't seem to work.

Does anyone know the fix???

Joe ... are you, by chance, using an older version of Quicken?

The symptoms you describe have often been associated with Qagent ... if
that's your case, take a look at:
