Sleep mode

[Guest]

Vista Beta 2, build 5384
When I put it to Sleep it comes back on in about 8 seconds.

Any ideas??

Resume time from sleep for me is lousy also. Its still a work in progress
and its just one of issues being worked on right now, performance is primary
ongoing issue.

Try turning your mouse upside down - and see if it works. Where I live (for
work) in London, I'm living on the ground floor of a flat near Sloane
Square - because the tube station is near the surface, every time a train
goes by, it nudges my mouse slightly and wakes up my machine!!

I misinterpreted the question. I am not seeing what you are seeing actually.

same problem here. resume from hibernation takes about the same time.

 

[Steven Wabik]

sleep is going great for me. of course then, i have not used hybernation in
vista yet.

 

[Guest]

I have this problem also. I can put it to sleep or hibernate and after going
through the process, it wakes up instantaneously.

Does anyone know of a way to easily troubleshoot what might be causing it to
wake up on its own? Perhaps a driver issue?

 

[Colin Barnhorst]

Start with the event viewer. It will show why it woke up.

 

[Guest]

Can you tell me which section of the event viewer would list what woke up the
machine?

 

[Colin Barnhorst]

I assume System. Scan the log. The wake up will not be the latest entry
since a number of events take place once the wakeup is triggered. I also
doubt that it will be an error message since the system is responding
appropriately to a program or process that has started, causing the wakeup.

Under personalize desktop go to screen saver, then change power setings,
then when pc sleeps.

I found all my "Sleep Mode" problems whent away when I updated my BIOS.
I had your exact problem with the 8 seconds.

 

[Guest]

Can you give me some direction to "update" my BIOS?
TIA

I solved this problem by going to Control Panel, Device Manager, Network
Adapters. Open the device in Network Adapters and click on the Power
Management tab then uncheck all the Wake on LAN options.

Good Day Ern,
Thanks for your response. After working with HP, I finally ended up with a
tech that was also able to identify this issue (only three weeks ago).
I was pleased to hear that the service pack release in soon to be released,
hopefully resolviong some of the other issues that I have encountered with
Vista.
Regards,
