Sleep mode - used to work perfectly
I have a Vista Ultimate SP1 machine that used to go to sleep and wake up
flawlessly. I could enter sleep manually or automatically. However, I recently installed a couple of applications and now the machine will not enter sleep automatically but it does work if manually performed. The apps were an HP monitor software suite, VLC (which didnt run under my vista and was removed) and AlSee. I notice that the drive activity light on the PC panel flashes once every second (I don't think it was doing that before). I've uninstalled the HP software and Alsee and it still isn't working like it used to. Suggestions on how to determine what is keeping the PC alive and not letting it enter sleep mode? |

Hi Sand, You can do a System Restore using a restore point dated before you installed the programs to see if it can fix the problem. This tutorial will show you how to if needed. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76...store-how.html Hope this helps, Shawn sand;776096 Wrote: I have a Vista Ultimate SP1 machine that used to go to sleep and wake up flawlessly.
