standby problems

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

Hello,

I have a problem every time when the PC enters standby mode: If I
restart (from standby mode) it runs without problems until I start
using the keyboard: As soon as I press a key on the keyboard (eg typing
a text or renaming a file) the mouse and the keyboard are deactivated.
Funny thing is that the PC itself keeps running, eg processes are
running but I cannot use keyboard and mouse, so that the only option is
to reboot (by switching the power off and on). This only happens after
the PC starts out of stabdby mode. I have no idea what this might
cause. It has been there for more than a year, and the event log does
not say anything specific about it. Any ideas? thanks,

Catalin
