Won't Sleep

I have Vista Home Basic SP1. Recently my computer won't stay in the sleep
mode. After less than 1 minute the processor wakes itself up. Any thoughts
as to what might be waking my computer? I have recently installed a new
virus protection program. Could that be the culprit?

Any thoughts?

Too much caffeine. Try decaf.

Sherri,

This tutorial talks about sleep mode and power settings and may be helpful to you. Here's the link: Power Options and Sleep Mode Problems

I hope this helps.
