My computer won't go to the sleep mode
I have the same problem. The sleep used to work fine, suddenly around 2
weeks ago it refused to go to sleep. The screen would shut off but everything else is still on. I tried using the hotfixes microsoft had, but all of them "doesn't apply" to my computer. I have a Latitude D630 with Vista Ultimate. Also updated my graphics card and the bios, no luck. I didn't install any software or hardware 2 weeks ago and there's no hardware issues, I ran a complete test on that...anyone with any ideas? |

My computer won't go to the sleep mode
Having new problems with sleep mode, machine will either take a very long time to go into sleep mode or it takes so long that I just have to swicht it off at the button.

Could someone please help, thankyou. -- Mason85 |
