Vista - Automatic sleep mode does not work anymore

01-04-2009

I have my vista computer automatically set to sleep mode after 20 minutes of
inactivity.

Now it suddenly does not work anymore. I have not installed new programs,
only turned on the processor meter sidebar.

Does anyone know what the problem might ben and how to solve this?

Check your settings. Start/Control Panel/System and Maintenance/Power
Options/appropriate Plan Settings.

I've seen that happen on several occasions where the display would go into standby when having the settings set to never. The one thing that seems to keep the settings from being reset to the defaults over a period of time is creating a custom power plan and saving changes while in the control panel>power options section.
