Barry,
What have you installed? Quicken? NAV? It's probably a portion of some app
that runs all of the time. Try removing stuff out of your Startup folders.
Also try removing stuff from Processes. If you are using Quicken you may
need to do a Unistall/Reinstall. These are just some suggestions. It's all a
bit tedious, but eventually you will figure it out.

Subject: Problem With Standby on NewA21P (Win 2K)
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
