Default Vista Sleep Issues

HOW did you disable the sleep function? I'm having similar problems --
hanging and freezing and giving error messages of "low system resources" when
the only application on the computer (besides VISTA, which came pre-loaded)
is AOL for dial-up internet!

The fact is that there are serious problems with sleep mode. I finally
diabled it and all my troubles went away - no more freezing, no more
rebooting when waking up. Microsoft really needs to patch this up.

Sorry, my last message should have stated that I did look into that section
in the Event Viewer and found no entries regarding sleep, only shutdown. Is
there another log within the Event Viewer that contains the sleep procedure
info as I went through most of the sub-sections and found nothing?

The log to look in is accessed in the Event Viewer. It's listed in the
blog I linked to. You have to drill down a long ways to find it.

Yes, I installed them yesterday.

The thing is, sometimes my computer goes to sleep fine and at other
times not so well. Is there a log that I can I look at to see how the
computer shuts down drivers to compare a good sleep initiation to a bad
one?



Here's a link to a blog with some good tips for troubleshooting
sleep/resume.

I've been having some problems with Vista going to not fully going to sleep
and the only way to get it back is to power down and restart. Some times it
works fine and others it hangs. How can I tell what program/drivers are
still active when the computer is going to sleep? IM guessing its a driver
not fully shutting down.

Thanks,
Mike

How do you disable the power plan on Vista? I am having the same issues and

Type "power options" into HELP & SUPPORT

There are three plans to chose from, and each of those can be modified
by clicking the "change plan settings", then the "change advanced
settings" links.

I had this problem because my network adaptor was check to bring computer out
of sleep. i went into device manager and unchecked let this device bring
computer out of sleep. Fixed the problem for me.

I'm having a similar issue. I have a HP dv9231ca. When I attempt to
sleep/hibernate, the screen fades as it should. However, if I close the
laptop lid before it has finished entering sleep/hibernation mode, it will
remain indefinately stuck at the black screen.

This is a long time problem with Windows. XP had a history of hangs during
shutdown and wakeup issues. My Vista does the same thing; sometimes it
wakes up, sometimes I must hold the power button to shutdown and reboot.
Don't expect any help or fixes from Microsoft.

Default Vista Sleep Issues

My Vista Ultimate x64 system seems to have an issue with staying asleep - but
only if my Logitech MX1000 wireless laser mouse is on it's cradle. If it's
on there, and I put the computer to sleep, it will awake almost instantly.

So, I went to the control panel - Mouse - hardware, and clicked on
properties (brings you to the device manager). I then went in and went to
"Advanced configuration" and "Power Options", and unchecked the box that says
"allow this device to wake the computer".

Well, that setting obviously changes absolutely nothing - the mouse - even
when moved on a surface, wakes the computer.

I found a MS Knowledgebase article about computer sleep issues
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927821/en-us
and it said that this "is caused by a USB device that supports wake from
sleep functionality when it is connected to the UHCI host controller. This
problem occurs even when the system BIOS reports that the UHCI host
controller supports the wake from sleep functionality. To work around this
problem, plug the USB device into an Enhanced Host Controller Interface
(EHCI) host controller."

Huh?? Is an EHCI USB controller basically a USB 2.0 port? If so, then this
did not fix my problem either, as every port on my computer is USB 2.0 (and I
am using USB 2.0 cables).
It's also interesting to note that this same mouse issue also affects the
ability of the computer to enter the screensaver (but only when the mouse is
on the cradle).
I have contacted Logitech about this, and they are baffled, but can
reproduce the problem - so it's not just me ;-)

Any ideas here?

Thanks!

-Ryan
