11288 2001-04-13 10:50:00 Some Programme or process is stopping my computer going to standby mode. I get a message saying 'to turn off all programmes and try again' I have done this to no avail. Is there any log/process I can observe message/errors to try and track this down. I have tried various power modes/times with no luck.

Anything that can point me in the correct direction would be appreciated.

thanks for the tip on Susfail.txt. It reported :
'DevNode 'Gameport Joystick'(ROOT\*PNPB02F\0000) failed the suspend'
As I don't use a joystick I deleted the driver in the device manager and suspend works fine now.
Don't you just love Microsoft.
Appreciated your help.
