WTService is preventing my laptop from going into standby

[Guest Mapo]

I have a installed a Medion digital drawing tablet (from Aldi) I'm now

getting a message when I close my lid saying WTService is preventing your

computer from going into standby. When I do a search there is no record of

WTService in my computer. I'm using Windows XP home edition.

It's there... it's a running Service.

 

Control Panel (Classic View)

 

Administrative Tools

 

Services

 

Find it

 

Double-click it

 

DISABLE it (play with the area where it says "Automatic".

 

Then STOP it.

 

Do the OK or APPLY thing as needed.

 

If you did it right, you'll be fine.

 

Don't know if your Aldi toy will work any more, but your current

problem will be fixed.

Glad I could help.
