I fixed the initial problem regarding the computer not going on standby. Basically I uninstalled adobe manager and it fixed the problem. However I still cannot use my direction arrows below the touchpad. Does anyone have a clue? Here is a link to a pic of my Compaq presario 905 us. You can see the direction arrows I'm talking about right below the touchpad.

You might want to ask that last question in the Hardware forum. Do you have a DOS boot disk that you can boot from, and perhaps test from there?
