I just got a new TP A21P (2629-HWU), and have been very impressed with it.  This is my first experience with Win 2K.  I have heard how good its power management is, so I was very surprised when after a day of installing applications, I find that it can no longer go into standby.

I get the message "Preparing  Standby...", and the machine locks up in that state.  I have tried using task manager to remove tasks that I may have added, but it did not help.  I should have made a list of all the Task Manager tasks before I added any applications, but I neglected to do that.

I really don't want to start removing apps one at a time, and even if I do, it may not help.

Any advice on how to fix my new toy would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

- Barry
