I'm wondering if there would be reference to it in the bios?
I'd check there next.
Hope this helps

I have an IBM Aptiva model 2140 L31.  It came with Windows 95 and I upgraded
it to Windows 98 SE.  When running a long time with no mouse activity, a
banner comes up saying "please wait while your computer prepares for
standby"  The banner stays, the program keeps running.  Eventually, it
freezes.  There was nothing in the reference guide about standby but I know
it came with other Aptivas.  I suspect that some standby software is running
but some software or  hardware is not there.  Standby does not appear in
settings / control panel / power management.  How can I stop it from calling
on standby?
