WinXP Standby Mode Problem

C

Charliec

I'm trying to take advantage of the Standby Mode in WinXP, but am running
into some hardware problems that is preventing the PC from going into
Standby mode. At first, it was a printer port logical interface that was
preventing Standby and that was solved by disable the Printer Port Logical
Interface. Now the message I get when attempting to go into Standby is
"the Standard 101/102 key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 is preventing the
Standby mode". Has anyone experience this particular problem and have a
workaround that you can share.

I have a Dell Dimension 8300 with the standard Dell keyboard and mouse.
Thanks for any insights.

did you install adobe acrobat or PGP? there are versions of both of those
install a keyboard filter which is not aware of power operations.

I have adobe type manager installed. Do I really need it for anything.
I've never used the program, but don't know if it's needed by something
else?

Thanks
