Same here--still broken. (answer to the wake_armed query: "NONE")

This is an extremely frustrating problem--I really used to rely utterly on these capabilities to save a lot of time, time which is now being wasted repeatedly each day.

I just can't believe there's no way to look at some log or other to see what actually caused the system to wake up. :( – John, on October 23, 2008 01:27

John,
In the command prompt, type powercfg -devicequery wake_armed and you will see a list of devices with "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" enabled. You can then disable it for each in Device Manager.

Still wasn't enough to fix this for me, though...

I should add this my system sometimes wakes up within 5 minutes or even less after entering standby. – John, on September 07, 2008 23:04

I still have this unwanted waking problem, with both hibernation and standby, and I'm wondering if there's any way other than trial and error to determine which program, driver, or service is triggering a wake-up. I haven't found anything obviously relevant in the System Event viewer, e.g, but I don't really know what to look for or where, either.

Similarly, is there any way to have Windows XP absolutely prohibit a wake-up except when the power button is pressed, etc.?

A comment on the problem "Firefox 3 Wants Google Toolbar !!" in Google:

How did you get the google toolbar to install with FF? It worked for me for a long time then with a recent update to FF it swtopped and I have tried all the fixes I can find published to deal with the -203 error code. Thanks. – Irish Eyes, on August 25, 2008 23:34
