SYMPTOMS
When you receive the error message "Your computer cannot go into standby," any of the following symptoms may occur:
 * Power management events may be disabled.
 * Power status events may not be detected.
 * Critically low power events may not be detected.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Vpowerd.vxd file may be in use while the error message dialog box is displayed. As a result, the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is not polled for power-management events.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, click OK to acknowledge the error message and free the Vpowerd.vxd file.



MORE INFORMATION
This behavior is by design.
