Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

I am working with a Dell D820 laptopw ith biometric reader and a SanDisk 1GB Cruzer with biometric reader. I was receiveing erros where I was unable to go to standby due to the USB device driver. I tried to above solution to only find that the check box was gray and unable to be changed. It turns out that the setting was being over-ridden by the BIOS settings. I changed the setting in the BIOS to allow USB deviced to wake the system from standby and it solved the problem.
