Windows 98SE "sleep" key

My 2-yr-old grandson is just learning to use the computer
and he pushed the "sleep" key on his Mom's Windows 98SE
computer keyboard. Now the monitor is black, the green
light is blinking, and the computer will NOT wake up. We
have tried re-starting the system, but no luck. What can
be done?

Thanx!

I would figure the keyboard is an Internet keyboard and
not a Standard. If so the proper drivers are not loaded
for it and is running off the standard 101 drivers. It
should reawake if you push the sleep key again or enter
key.
If not and it is locked up? Unplug the machine. Push and
hold in the power-on button for 30 seconds. Release the
power button and plug machine back in and try normal boot
up.
