Hi Could some body help me please?! I can not hibernate or send my sony laptop to stand by when I close the lid or even mannually. Error message says to update the keyboard drivers. I did, but still no luck.(XP professional). Please help

did you check mark Hibernate in power option ???

Do you have Adobe Type Manager installed?
This can clash with hibernation.

Also check the power settings in control panel > power

Yes, I have. It was hibernating okay till recently;suddenly stopped and gives the error message as follows:
The device driver for the Standard 101/102 Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 keyboard is preventing the system from hibernating...
Help!

Yes I have installed the Adobe type manager recently. But now I have uninstalled. Burt stil it wouldn't hibernate.Still gives the error message as follows:
The device driver for the Standard 101/102 Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 keyboard is preventing the system from hibernating...
Help!

As Kee-Lo suggested this could be an application that is hooking the keyboard driver and preventing the application from shutting down, thus preventing hibernation.
This will be a long winded solution but if you go to Start > Run and type msconfig (hit return) > Start Up and disable applications in bulk or in turn, reboot and test hibernation, you may find the culprit.
Best of luck.

From what I read Microsoft just tell you to contact Adobe... very useful of them....

Another forum said just uninstall it or update it to the newest version

Thank you Kee-lo
I think I have not uninstalled the Adobe Type manager properly at first. I have tried again and this time it worked! Thanks again. Brilliant suggestion.
