Hi,

I can no longer put my computer to sleep.

The sleep options are no longer available in the control paner / power
management
and when I choose to stop the computer from the menu, the sleep option is
grayed, I can only stop or reboot.

The system acts as if the computer was not able to have a sleep function.

How can I correct this problem ?
Is there a register key that I can change back to its normal state ? an
initialisation file... ?

Help me please
Thanks
Alain
 
Hi Alain,

This is most likely caused by the device drivers for the graphics card
(either it's not installed, or the installed driver is unsigned).
