Vista Machine won't stay in standby
My wife's desktop machine is a HP a1730n running Vista Home Premium. After
putting it in standby state, after a short while, it comes back up into operation. It does this most of the time but sometimes, it will stay in standby all night. I asked the group about this before and got the advice to to into advanced settings in Power Options and change the multimedia setting "when showing multimedia" to "allow the computer to sleep". This seemed to fix it for a while but it then reverted back to not staying in standby. I am looking for some more advanced wisdom on this and hoping for a solution that works! Thanks in advance, Bascom King

Does moving the mouse cause it to wake up? I've seen systems where the mouse, without being touched, would move enough to wake it up. Try turning the mouse upside down *before* putting the system to sleep, and see if it stays that way. -- Ray (remove the Xs to reply)

From an elevated command prompt, run the command "powercfg -lastwake" without
the quotes, and see if it lists what woke up the computer. "Bascom King" wrote: My wife's desktop machine is a HP a1730n running Vista Home Premium.
