I'm getting the following error message:

"The device driver for 'Standard 101/102-key or MS Natural
PS/2 keyboard' is preventing machine from entering
standby....If problem persists, you may need to update
this driver."

I updated the driver and the problem persists.

Compaq, maker of the keyboard, suggested:

1. Click Start, Control Panel, and then double-click the
System icon.
2. Click the Hardware tab.
3. Click the Device Manager button.
4. Click on the (+) sign in front of Keyboards.
5. Right-click HP PS2 Keyboard and select Properties from
the drop down menu.
6. Click the Power Management tab.
7. Check the option to "Allow the device to bring
computer out of standby".
8. Click OK

Sounds good, but there's no Power Management tab.

Any thoughts on how to cure this problem (other that using
the Always On power setting. I did enable Hibernation;
didn't do any good.)
