Ashton..Just a thought..My Vista system has always gone to sleep with no
problems EXCEPT whenever I do a driver update or for that fact even
changing the wallpaper will cause the drives to not spin down and the
monitor sometimes does and sometimes doesn't sleep....I have gotten used to
just going into power options and resetting my choices right back to the
same and all is fine...System goes to sleep right on time and wakes up with
the flick of the mouse....Seriously this is the only minor glitch or
complaint I have had....irritating but as of yet I have not found the
cure....If you do please post back !!.........Just my 3 cents.........Drew
