When I try to use standby, I get a message that a program is running. I've tried taking everything out, one item at a time, but NG.

I tried to use "stand-by" and my computer just froze up. Had to turn it off and reboot. That doesn't seem right.

Denise, it's probable a virus scanner program that tries to scan the sleep function, turn off "On Run" if that's an option in the virus program. Colleen, just because it says it'll work doesn't mean it will, and with computers it usually won't. You both should check the owners manuals on your pc's to find a possible answer, or don't use the sleep or stand by function.

I have windows se and my stand by does the same thing....when I use it,it will go to sleep but when I go to bring it back up it has the blue screen of death and is saying FATAL EXCEPTION.....I then have to unplug it and then plug it back in to get it working again........I talked to a tech where I bought my computer and he said there was a windows patch that was issued to fix this but he was not able to remember how to tell me where it was......anyone out there with any help!
