This message has been appearing after the commputer trys to
enter standby mode while idle:

"The device driver for the "Floppy disk drive" is
preventing the machine from entering standby."

The OS is Windows 2000, computer is a Dell 8200. I've
checked for driver updates, and windows updates. All are
current. Any have an idea what is going on and how to
correct it?

I found a couple of related previous discussions, which had some good
diagnostic suggestions but no definitive solution. This was the most
informative (click "Complete Thread" to see the full discussion):

My best advice? Try Microsoft's step-by-step diagnostic procedure for
Standby problems.
