System Standby Failed Friday, January 11, 2002 at 1:30 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Christopher Shumway (8 messages posted) Hi. I've ran into a problem I can't seem to solve. When I do start -> Turn off computer -> Standby I get an error message that reads "The device driver 'Communications Port (COM2)' device is preventing the machine from entering standby...'. I have nothing attached to the second serial port on this sytem. Any ideas on what could cause this? Running Windows XP Pro on an Asus P4B-F(440BX Chipset)/PIII-500/512m Matrox G400. The system was installed on an empty hard drive (not upgraded). I've also checked BIOS revisions from Asus and am running the latest.
