XP won't Hibernate or Standby

[John Veale]

I get an message "The device driver for the 'NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with
AGP8X' device is preventing the machine from entering standby............"
every time I try to go into standby. I have updated the NVIDIA drivers. The
machine used to go into standby before I had to re-install Windows XP H9ome
edition. Same thing happens with Hibernate. Any ideas please?

Are your Windows Updates - up-to-date ?

Did you get those drivers from www.nvidia.com as their recommended ones
for XP? Or from Windows Update? If Windows Update, go to nVidia direct
instead
