When you attempt to place Windows XP into Standby Mode, you receive:
The device driver for the 'Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard' device is preventing the machine from entering standby. Please close all applications and try again. If the problem persists, you may need to update this driver.
If Adobe Type Manager is installed, some versions, like version 4.0, are not compatible with power management.
To resolve this issue, uninstall Adobe Type Manager.

By any chance did you install new software 2 months ago? I recently got the same message after installing a new program and learned from the software maker that the "spooler" had to run continuously and was overriding the standby mode on my Inspiron 8200. So, as long as the program is installed my laptop will not go to standby. Hope that helps. jmark11
