Tech Clinic / Computer Freezing on "Preparing to sleep..." Screen and othe
« on: May 25, 2006, 06:30:28 PM »
The same problem occured after the installation of my new Bluetooth USB-stick with BlueSoleil-Stack. Although standby-mode is disabled, WinXP tries to go into standby-mode and freezes with "Preparing to sleep...". I already checked my system for viruses and spyware and didn't find anything.
Finally, I stopped several processes and started the standby-mode manually. When the Bluesoleil process (BlueSoleil.exe) was terminated, standby-mode worked properly. As soon as I started BlueSoleil.exe again, standby-mode didn't work anymore.
You can easily stop BlueSoleil.exe by right-clicking on the bluetooth tray-icon and selecting "Terminate" or "Stop" (in the german version you have to choose "Beenden"). Then try to go into standby mode. If it works, you've found the reason for your system freezes.
For me disabling BlueSoleil worked fine. I haven't found a solution so far, to fix the problem with BlueSoleil. Maybe an update of the BlueSoleil software or of the bluetooth-stack would help but I haven't tried yet.
