I have a Vista Ultimate SP1 machine that used to go to sleep and wake up flawlessly. I could enter sleep manually or automatically.

Specifically it reconnected when I turn my headset on/off and did not require...

How many of you think that we should have to go through the registry editor process every time we need to use our CD/DVD drives? I'm having to do it every 2 or 3 days.
