standy & hibernation (S & H) function
Due to a virus, I re-installed XP with Dell Tech help. S & H worked prior to
re-install. Now, they do not. When I set up S & H a window with following message is displayed: " ...the device driver for Com Port ! is preventing machine from entering standby. You may need to update this driver." (paraphrased) I checked the ComPort driver thru System Propertice/Device Driver and it says it's working OK. I can find you applicable Driver info on Windows website. Where can I get info to update the driver? THX in advance.

standy & hibernation (S & H) function
Did you ever have a UPS device attached to the computer? Older UPS
devices utilized serial ports to communicate to the computer. JG wrote: Due to a virus, I re-installed XP with Dell Tech help. S & H worked prior to re-install. Now, they do not.
