Sleep Mode

Hi sorry if this is the wrong area to post this one.

When my computer goes to sleep mode it doesnt remain in sleep mode it comes out after a short time (say 20 mins). Is there a way to make it remain in sleep mode

Hello code_one

You may be able to find a solution in this

Thanks i have made some changes using the tutorial and will post back with the results when i have tested it

ok no luck it comes out of sleep mode even quicker now maybe 30secs-min

Hi Code_one,

Check your network device to make sure it's Power Management options are set to not wake the computer, and that the Wake on settings in the BIOS are disabled.

Do you have a wireless mouse?

Hi code_one

I see that some people are having issues
using a wireless mouse or keyboard in
sleep mode, are you?

yes i have a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo that uses one reciever

Code_One,

I would try Step One to see if the wireless keyboard and mouse is the problem with their driver. I would use a standard ps/2 keyboard and mouse to use in the test, if you have one available, to make it easier to do.

thanks i will try that i have a ps2 keyboard but not a mouse might have to buy one. also in the tutorial it says to buy a keyboard/mouse thats vista compatible how can i tell
i have tried the disable and when i came out of sleep keyboard and mouse were frozen. have also downloaded the latest driver from the manufacturer maybe i just turn the monitor off and forget about sleep mode

Hello code_one

Sounds a whole lot easier to me! (cheaper too)
