Auto Insert Notification May Prevent Automatic SuspendLast reviewed: November 26, 1997Article ID: Q161642 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSSome computers are equipped with power management features that place the computer in a suspended power state after a certain period of inactivity. If the Auto Insert Notification option is enabled for IDE CD-ROM drives on such a computer, the computer may not be suspended automatically.
CAUSESome IDE CD-ROM drives support a polling method that the power-management components detect as drive activity. It seems that the drive is still in use, preventing the computer from being suspended.
RESOLUTIONYou can work around this issue by disabling the Auto Insert Notification option for affected drives. For information about how to do so, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
