T41p - standby mode impossible

[Happy]

Running XP on this little wonderbox has been a pleasure until the laptop did refuse to stay in standby mode but pops back up instantly no matter of method used: FN+F4 or lid down.

My suspicion is a newly wifi driver installed for the wireless card but traversing any settings for the driver has not helped.

Seen this before?

It's pretty rare for a driver to prevent a unit from going into standby, far more likely to be some program or script running in the background.

All you can do is open Task Manager, start killing processes and then attempting to go into standby.

Is there anything in the event log?

Thanx a bunch guys - I believe James advice did put things straight. I did uninstall a schedule service of MRU Blaster, did a reboot and dang - things back in order - thanx guys
