I have a installed a Medion digital drawing tablet (from Aldi) I'm now
getting a message when I close my lid saying WTService is preventing your
computer from going into standby. When I do a search there is no record of
WTService in my computer. I'm using Windows XP home edition.

It's there... it's a running Service.

Control Panel (Classic View)

Administrative Tools

Services

Find it

Double-click it

DISABLE it (play with the area where it says "Automatic".

Then STOP it.

Do the OK or APPLY thing as needed.

If you did it right, you'll be fine.

Don't know if your Aldi toy will work any more, but your current
problem will be fixed.
