hi all. Can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this problem:

In the last day, I can't Stdby or Hibernate my 'puter, running Win XP. The error msg states that the device driver for the communications port COM2 won't allow it. It advises me to update the driver, which, of course, does not help.

No major changes in hardware or software lately, and until 2 days ago, everything was fine.

go figure. Anyone else had this problem? How'd ya fix it?

System config below.
