System Standby Failed

[muppet rebecca]

Okies every time I try to put the computer into standby it comes with the following message:

The device driver for the "VIAVT86C100A-Based Fast Ethernet Adapter" device is preventing the machine from entering standby. Please close all applications and try again. If the problem persists, you may need to update the driver.

Okies my computer did once go into standby however that was years ago like 6/7 and when it did you could leave the Internet browser on. It started coming up with this message the first time I reformatted the computed. Now I've tried going into standby without the Internet running and the modem switched off but to no avail. As for it saying update the driver I'm not aware of a driver being more up to date than the one thats installed.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

have you actually disconnected the ethernet cable, or are you connected wireless?

 

have you tried uninstalling the drivers then reboot and cancel the windows installation and manually install the driver?

Possibly disable wakeup on LAN in BIOS.

 

Windows power settings.

Match with regards to your question the Internet runs through a modem and isn't wireless also when I switched the modem off I also unplugged the ethernet cable. However in standby you should be able to hibernate the computer with web addresses still open before-hand.

Also jelly bean I'll try that tomorrow and have a look at what happens.

Jelly Bean in my BIOS there's something in power management setup called Modem Use IRQ-[Auto] , you think that might have something to do with it?

In PM Wakeup Events theres the following:

IRQ [3-7,9-15], NMI - [Enabled]

IRQ 8 Break Suspend - [Diasabled]

Ring Power Up Control - [Disabled]

Resume by PCI Card - [Enabled]

USB Resume from S3 - [Enabled]

PS/2 Resume from S3 - [Enabled]

Power up by Alarm - [Disabled]

Any ideas off that? Any help is always appreciated
