Vista - Can't get vista to sleep.

Take a look at these

http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/com...=en-us&m=1&p=1

(Check in Power Options, Advanced and under Multimedia make sure the
computer is allowed to sleep or hibernate... Otherwise it enters "away mode"
which sounds a a little bit like you're describing).

(Sounds like a recognised problem that MS are aware of & will hopefully fix)

Thanks,
Just tried that but computer wakes up as soon as it goes to sleep still.

Like the original poster in the thread you linked to, it's just one of those
nigglies that keeps pestering me to get working though not absolutely
necessary. It'll probably drive me pretty much insane before I can figure
it out.

I just started a blog last week due to some of the problems I've had with
Vista and Office 2007. Sleep was one of them and it was due to the wake on
lan bit being flipped during the upgrade.

http://www.appcrash.net/2007/02/cant-sleep-try-this.asp is a post that
walks you through checking this out. For me, I went through all the turning
off mouse and Advanced Power Management stuff. I could hibernate, but not
sleep until I flipped the wake on lan bit.

I'm also trying to keep up on some of the issues I've seen, outside of sleep
and appcrashes.. Check out my blog and leave feedback if you'd like.

Try this it solved my sleep problem
go to: Control Panel - Network Adaptors
click on listings until you find the one with a "Power
Management" Tab. (on my computer it was the first tab)
Unclick "allow this device to wake Computer"

(there is even a warning on that tab about this)

Like I said this solved my problem. Hope it works for you!!

Path is Control Panel - Device Manager - Network Adaptors
Then find the one with the power mgt tab.

It too was my network adapter causing my system to wake up. Thanks for the
heads up!!

Not good for me yet!! (Insomniac Vista - grr!)

I have set my "Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection" to NOT "allow this
device to wake Computer" - no effect on slpplessness - but when I tried
Greg's route, I got as far as the Advanced Properties box, but there was no
sign of "Wake Up Capabilities".

Open to other suggestions... sledgehammer is tempting.

I got the can't-sleep-problem too, but it works fine when my apdater isn't on
(when it's working on battery).
And my adapter hasn't a Power magagement tab...
