Sleepmode turned off in registery

[Guest]

Hello,

I uploaded some sotfware that has turned off the sleep and hibernate mode of
my computer. Its no a power options problem. The sleep button on the turn off
window is greyed out. I don't want to wipe the hard drive b/c it will take
two days to upload all my software etc. and I tryed the re-install/repair XP
options under the add/remove software with no luck. anyone have a clue how to
repair that registry file. Thanks

Here are some steps go through them and see:
1.. Click Start >> control panel >> Performance & Maintenance >> double
click System Icon.
2.. Click on Hardware Tab then Device Manager Button.
3.. Under the list of device drivers expand the plus [+] to became [-] for
the Computer driver (s) to view the driver (s) tree.
4.. Your computer driver might have the following driver " ACPI
Multiprocessor PC "
5..Right click on it to open the properties for the driver and select from
the list Update driver.
6..After finishing the driver update you will be prompted to Restart please
do so and you may need to reboot twice or three time for the changes to take
affects.
