Driver disabling SLEEP functionality

Hello all,

I'm quite new to this list so bear with me. I have a question that I'm hoping some knowledgable soul could help me with. I recently installed some software (Pro Tools LE 6.0) which installed a driver in the form of a kext. Since this driver has been installed, my system refuses to go into 'Deep Sleep'. Meaning: when I select 'sleep' from the Apple menu, the screen blanks, the HD spins down, but the fans remain on. I've contacted the company that makes this software (Digidesign) and they refuse to acknowledge it as a problem and suggest that I simply forego usage of 'sleep' in favor of shutdown/restart. All politics aside, I thought that I might be able to cook up a utility that would forcibly enable deep sleep once again for my Mac. I'm using 10.2.3 (can't upgrade to 10.2.4 until Digidesign "clears" it for use with their product).

So my question is this, I'm a C programmer and have been doing coreMIDI development for about a year now so I'm *somewhat* famaliar with OS X's way. Where should I start looking to develop a utility that will enable me SLEEP again? *OR* Where might I look to see where THEIR driver disabled the sleep functionality?

BTW, if I am in the wrong list, do tell and thanks in advance for all replies...

-Jim
