Failure to enter standby

[Ely]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

When my computer attempts to enter standby, I get the following message: "The device driver for the 'HSP56 Micromodem' 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."

What do I do?

I have tried to find out how to turn off the modem but have not been able to. Every time the phone rings, I get a message that the phone is ringing.

Have you checked for updated drivers at the modem manufacturer's website?

I checked http://www.driverscollection.com/?file_id=12977 and found two drivers. I did not know how to proceed. This looked like a driver and not an update. Any suggestions?

A newer driver than what you have will be an UPDATE, hince what Cari said,
"updated drivers".

DID you try the manufacturer OF the modems web site like Cari suggested????

Check the version number of your driver and compare.
