When this pc goes into standby according to my power settings or when I push
the standby button on the keyboard a window pops up, tells me the the driver
for my NEC DVD RW 3520 is preventing entry into standby. I have DL'd new
driver from NEC and installed it. I have uninstalled the drive and
reinstalled it. I have done this procedure several times without helping the
situation. What can I do short of shutting the drive down? XP Pro SP2

Hi

Maybe the driver is the problem? NEC says no driver is necessary:
Q: Do I need a driver?
A: No drivers are required for Windows® XP (Home, Professional), and
Windows 2000, and Windows ME. It isn't necessary to install driver or
program for preference setup. DVD and CD writing software must be
purchased separately.

The only DVD/CD drivers I can see on their site are legacy DOS and Mac
drivers. What actually did you download?

What I'd try is deleting the driver from Device Manager *and*
removing/renaming the file on your computer (so it doesn't get
reinstalled in the next step), then rebooting and letting Windows detect
the drive and install the native XP driver.
