Sleep not working as it did
When I first installed Vista (Home Premium), I enabled sleep mode and noticed
when sleep was invoked my computer got quiet (I could hear the drive and fan going quiet) and would notice the light indicating my computer on my wireless network router would go out. That was great! However, now when I invoke sleep, I just notice the monitor going blank, that's it. Any ideas would welcome. Thanks!

Sounds like the computer could be setup to go into 'Away Mode' if you've setup Media Center it probably made this change. Check in Control Panel - System and Maintenance - Power Options - Change when the computer sleeps - Change advanced power settings - Multimedia settings. From here you can allow the computer to sleep, not sleep (away mode), or not idle to sleep. -- Paul Smith, Yeovil, UK.

Thanks Paul. This seems to have fixed my issue. My machine now truly goes
to sleep - not just the monitor. Jeff "Paul Smith" wrote: "Jeff" wrote in message ...
