Vista - Home 64bit wake up problem

When my computer goes to sleep or puts the monitors into standby when I move the mouse all I get is flashes of the screen and a box with 3 options in it which does not display long enough to see and I finally have to shut down the computer. I am running an ATI card with the new 8 drivers on a new Dell Studio desktop.

Hi, tgodbold, and welcome to the forums.

have you tried reverting the drivers to the ones that come via Windows Update?

You may also try going into advanced sleep options(Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Power Options/ Edit plan settings). I had a sleep problem, I fixed it in here.

I have mine set to:
Additional settings/require pword on wake= yes
Harddisk/Turn harddisk off after= 59 min
Sleep/sleep after= 60 min
USB/USB selective suspend setting= Disabled
Power buttons and lid/ Power button= shut down/Sleep button= Sleep/Start menu power button= Sleep
PCI Express/Link State Power Mgmt= Off
Display/Turn display off after= 15 min/Adaptive display= Off

My computer now sleeps and wakes as it should, so u may try this.

Good luck...
