hi, about 2 weeks ago, in some of the microsoft windows updates, one of them changed the way that the screen that pops up when i click the start buttom on the lower left corner of my screen. i adjusted to that quickly enough, and the next screen that pops up when i try to put my computer to sleep. but, my computer will no longer sleep. when i click the sleep button, the screen goes black for about 2 seconds, then comes right back. my computer is in my "man cave", so i am up and down throughout the day. it can be 10 minutes or 10 hours between visits. most of the time i never know. and turning it off all the time, waiting for it to reboot is a royal pita. its > 8 years old, so i hate to let it run 16 hours a day needlessly. HELP!!!
p.s. this is a HP computer running Vista Home Premium 32 bit o.s. i have it set up to automatically download and install M.S. Windows updates.
