Notebook wakes itself up on RC2.

[Guest]

My dell notebook keeps waking itself up several times during the night
running Vista RC2. I've put it down to sleep and on hibernation and
experienced the problem.

I was looking at the scheduler to see if it was causing it, but couldn't
find anything. It does it plugged or unplugged.
Has anyone experienced this, or have any solutions???

Many thanks...

I have the EXACT same issue, on my Sony Vaio FS-295XP... I thought I was
going mad....

Do either of you have Wake on LAN enabled in your BIOS by any chance?

No, Infact, I wish I had advanced BIOS options like this in my Vaio, all I
have, is a pathetic date/time boot order and 2 other settings!!!!

nope, That's one of the 1st things I checked...

I had a big go at my girlfriend for using my computer the other day, only to
see it wake itself up in my hotel room last night, I really hope she doesn't
read this... LOL

I had this issue on my IBM ThinkPad T23 , 2003 model
[1.2 GhZ/1GB RAM/80GB HDD/DVD RW/integrated WLAN LAN DIALUP TPM&RFID]

with all builds from the Beta2 and RC1 series - as of build 5840 it is gone
and now works perfectly.

A shame that the small gpu (S3 16MB, DX8) in this machine does support
only Vista Basic,because it is running like a charm with vista Business
edition, wich I will definately buy as upgrade to the original IBM installed
XP professional .

You could try unplugging your mouse, or, in Device Manger, double-click your
mouse device, and on the Power Management tab uncheck "Allow this device to
wake the computer". Also, in Device Manger, double-click your network card
(or modem, if that applies), and make sure "Allow this device to wake the
computer" isn't checked.
