    Keyboard doesn't like standby mode
    « on: April 13, 2005, 01:58:33 PM »
    Hello all!

    Let me get right to it. When I put my computer into standby mode, either by using the button on the computer tower, or selecting it on the shutdown screen, everything goes into standby alright, but all three of the lights on the keyboard start flashing simultaneously. When I hit the standby button again on the tower, everything starts back up fine, but the keyboard continues it's flashing. The keyboard ceases to function when it does this. No buttons work. I have to restart the computer for the keyboard to work again. What could be causing this?

    My comp has Win98Se,
    Pentium I 133MHz
    '94 Intel motherboard
    64 megs ram
    3 hard drives + CDROM

    The keyboard is the old school type, where it looks a lot like the PS/2 plug but bigger. I have tried several different keyboards, all have the same effect.

    I know it's old, but it works great except for this one problem. Can anyone help?
