Hello, I have a Toshiba satellite M115 that when you close the lid it goes into standby for a short time, then wakes while the lid is still closed.

says invalid command

[jeevesman]

I tried that and is say invalid parimeters try "/? " for help

[Broni]

You sure about "space", spelling, minus sign in front of "lastwake"?

[jeevesman]

yes, typeed just as you had it on here

[Broni]

Try:
powercfg /lastwake

[jeevesman]

same responce, invalid parimeter. I read on another post that it could be a .dll file

[Broni]

Run:
powercfg /?
and see, if "lastwake" is listed there.

[jeevesman]

it has the following:
/list
/query scheme
/query
/create scheme
/delete scheme
/setactive scheme
/change scheme /monitor-timeout-dc 15
/change scheme /monitor-timeout-dc 0
/hibernate on
/export scheme /file file
/query number /numerical
/globalpowerflag on /option batteryicon
/availibesleepstates
/batteryalarm low
/batteryalarm critical /activate on /level6 /action hibernate
/devicequery wake_armed
/deviceenablewake "microsoft usb intellimouse explorer

I'd assume then, that probably XP doesn't have "lastwake" option.

Go Start>Run (Start Search in Vista), type in:
msconfig
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).

Click on Startup tab.
Click Disable all
IMPORTANT! In case of laptop, make sure, you do NOT disable any keyboard, or touchpad entries.

Click Services tab.
Put checkmark in Hide all Microsoft services
Click Disable all.

Click OK.
Restart computer in Normal Mode.

NOTE. If you use different firewall, than Windows firewall, turn Windows firewall on, just for this test, since your regular firewall won't be running.
If you use Windows firewall, you're fine.

Same problem?

[jeevesman]

didn't change anything. still the same

[Broni]

Re-enable everything back.
Do you have any USB devices connected to the laptop?

[jeevesman]

Nothing connected
