keyboard driver

I have been trying for 2 months to get an answer to this error message:

The device driver for the 'Standard 101/102-Key or

Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard' drive 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.

Where do I go to get an update or is there something else I need to do?

Please see if this helps:

"...

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.

Check http://www.adobe.com/products/atm/mainwin.html for an updated version.

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
