Yes it is normal. Personally I don't like leaving my machine in sleep mode
overnight, neither do I like leaving it on all day either, I would much rather turn the machine off completely. However, if you prefer to leave your PC in sleep mode then that is fine. All the flashing LED is telling you is that the machine is sleeping. -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows - Shell/User Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

Thanks for replying. Actually if it is alright to keep turning it off instead of putting it in sleep mode then that is what I would prefer to do. Thanks for the information.

As I said in my original post, Spangles, my desktop is turned off at the end
of use. I will put it into sleep mode if I'm going to be away for half an hour or so, but never any longer. If I'm away for a couple of hour the machine is shut down completely. My laptop is treated in the same way. Strangely, whenever I do put the machine into sleep or hibernate I can never, once I come out of sleep or hibernate, log on to the internet again; I have to reboot completely, so sleep and hibernate are not really much use to me. -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows - Shell/User Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".
