I had the same problem getting my computer to get “out of sleep”. I went to control panel-hardware and sound-power saving options-change settings-selected “put in sleep mode” never….hopefully that works!

Hi, I have started having problems with my laptop turning itself on while in hybernate mode. The other strange thing is that it doesn’t turn on normally, some of the lights go on, I hear the fan but nothing else happens. When I try to get it to turn on fully (crl alt delete, tapping power button etc) nothing works. The only thing I can ever do is hold in the power button and shut which is really annoying as I have to re-open all of my programs and sometimes lose work. Does anyone know what could be causing these mysterious half start-ups?

OK this is to all of you experiencing problems similar to Karla with sleep mode.

1) Firstly go in to DEVICE MANAGER.
2)Find your networking controller in (network adaptors) ( mines is NVIDEA Nforce)
3)Click on power management tab
4) check all boxes ( then uncheck both top ones, leave bottom one checked)then click OK
5)Expand “mice And other pointing device” , then find your mouse>Right click> Properties > check only box “allow this device to wake the computer” then OK

Hi. I have Vista home premium running on a Dell WPS420 and also have a sleep roblem, when I move the mouse the computer come back to life after sleep but with only 1/2 the destop showing on screen. I cannot see any commands so my only solution is to swith the poswer off and then start again. On booting everthing runs slow and I have a message above the double cylinder icon ( bottom right corner ) saying “the data in a volume is being verified and repaired” the icon keeps showing red / green / clear with the same message for the next 4 – 6 hours then disappears, presumably having been repaired. I have no real need to go into sleep mode so is there a way to disable the sleep mode and avoid the problem.

Hopefully this helps some of you.

Recently purchased a HP desktop PC (Vista Home Basic). Whenever it went to sleep mode, I could not wake it back up.

Solved this problem by disabling Hybrid Sleep mode.

Hi I have been having some trouble lately on turning my screen off for my desktop in sleep mode running Vista Ultimate. Its a CRT Slyvania and I havn’t had any problems with pressing the power button in the start menu before. However lately when i press the power button it just seems like i log off because the screen, the fan is still running, pretty much everything is still on and i am at the password screen. Because before when I pressed the power button on the start menu it actually shut everything off and I could just wiggle the mouse a bit and up came the fan in the computer and a sec later the screen came on and i was at the log on screen to enter my password. So now I can’t REALLY go into sleep mode, i am stuck in log off mode, and its really annoying. ANYONE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, I am sending this message from my laptop because my desktop PC is having problems!!
I THOUGHT it was a monitor problem because after a power outage, the PC came back on but the screen was black. I re-booted and nothing happened with the screen. Then I unplugged the power and plugged it back in – the ACER came up on the screen, then a dos message with two options, click to repair or click to open windows as usual… I tried BOTH to no avail. I can not get anything on the monitor except when cutting the power. I also should mention, there is something going on because I can hear the windows opening chimes, but immediately hear a sound telling me something is bad, but because I can’t get an image on the screen, I don’t know what the problem is.

Please help!!

I have an issue very close to the same issue Vincent is having.
I have a desktop hp pavilion with vista and when i try to turn on my pc or restart it, it goes into to sleep mode and hafe the time i can’t get it out of sleep mode to get the pc going i have to restart it manually.
Some times it will start up with no problem.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks
