Alright so I know what I did to cause this, I believe, but now I need a way to fix it. Recently, the partition Vista was installed on (~31 gig) was getting really tight on space (less then a gig left) so I needed to free up some space. I have both XP and Vista installed on my computer (XP for school work, Vista for games, though it is slowly becoming my main OS for everything) so while I was using XP to defrag my computer I found the hiberfil.sys which was well over 2.5 gigs. I knew what it was for but I went ahead and just deleted it anyway so I could get some free space back. I thought vista would just make a hiberfil.sys, but it didn't. I've tried the command: "powercfg -h on" and while I did lose 2.5 gigs worth of hard drive space instantly, my computer still can't go into sleep mode, it'll shut off the monitor for a few seconds, but then it just goes back to the welcome screen. I've gone back and forth on that command several times ("powercfg -h off" restart, then "powercfg -h on" restart again), but still nothing. So my question is what are some things I can try to get my computer to be able to go into sleep mode again? Thanks in advance for your help.
