With a Windows-XP oporating system, it is possible to place a computer in "standby" when it is no longer needed for a time. Using standby has an advantages over "shutting-down:" The computer can be restored to oporation in seconds rather than minutes, and still has a chance to cool its parts. Now, a message has appeared on my compouter saying that access to "standby"is blocked by an "service update" (v1.1.4322) from Microsoft.NET Framework. I want to put my computer in standby but haven't been able to remove the "block," I don't choose to let my computer cook all nigfht, and didn't ask for this problem
