Can't hibernate

When I press the sleep button on my keyboard I get "The device driver for the
'Terminal Server Keyboard Driver' device is preventing the machine from
entering hibernation. Please close all applications and try again. If the
problem persists, you may have to update this driver" I have downloaded the
latest driver from my keyboard manufacturer and there are no other keyboards
on the device list. At Dell's suggestion I disabled the Terminal Keyboard
Driver and this only trapped me in safe mode until I enabled it again. The
only change to the system since it last worked is the loading of data (Word,
Excel, Outlook Express, Pictures and music files' recovered from my previous
computer that had 'died' System = XP por SP2. Any Ideas anyone? Many thanks.
 
Colin,
Seen many posts with little help. To disable Terminal Server
Keyboard Manager (A component of terminal services and also RDP) Right-click
My Computer, select Manage. Choose Device Manager at the left tab and then
click View>Show Hidden Devices. Then, select System Devices and DISABLE
Terminal Server Keyboard Manager. DO NOT UNINSTALL IT!!! Also Disable
Terminal Server Mouse Manager. Then, DO NOT REBOOT!!!!! Right-click My
Computer, Select Properties, and at the Remote tab at the top of the window,
UNCHECK the "Allow This Computer to send Remote Invitations. That should
take care of the issue.

Hope that's the end of all your troubles! Thanks to Huyabusa of Tech Guy

Thanks for this, but as I stated in my question, this was suggested to me by
Dell helpline too. All that happened was when I eventually re-booted, the
system would only open in safe mode. The only way to return to normal was to
re-enable these two drivers. Whilst I could avoid re-booting, it would be
neccessary sometimes (Windows updates, new software etc.)
