My computer had been off for a while and it went in "sleep mode" and would not come out of "sleep mode". I moved the mouse, pressed the escape button, pressed the "sleep button" on my keyboard, pressed the on/off button for the monitor but the only thing that happened was that it came on to the "Adjusting screen" and went back in sleep mode. I finally had to turn my computer off manually, then when it started to come back on it started to boot up but then went back into sleep mode. Finally, and I don't know what I done, I moved the mouse and seen the pointer, then after a little bit it finally came up. My programs were slow in responding at first, but seemed to speed up. For now it seems everything is alright, but I would like to know if anyone can tell me what may be happening. I installed an "APS back up recently" and had to download a recent version (2.2) and also had to download a "patch" for the program. I don't know right now if this had anything to do with it or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.......
