Just FYI -- I paid a visit to a local electronics store and tested the
Vista
sleep functionality on several machines they had out on display. Each
of
them went to sleep and woke up properly; so it *will* work. Evidently
I have
done something to my machine that has buggered the sleep function. If
I
figure it out, will share here. I may have to do a Recovery to factory

installation to get rid of whatever I did. Bah.

I think I have finally resolved my Vista sleep problem. My solution path
was:

-my HP Pavilion Vista system did sleep properly between May 25th (when
I bought it) and June 13th; after that it began either not going to
sleep or not waking from sleep.

-on June 13th I had attempted to install software to run my HP Scanjet
3970 from a CD in drive E: I thought I had verified that the hardware
and software would run on Vista, but evidently I was wrong; the scanner
software appeared to partially install, but not completely; I
subsequently uninstalled the programs.

-I realized later that one artifact of the abortive installation
remained, a reference to a program called zzzhpsetup.exe

-I found it in the list of msconfig startup tab items. After I
unchecked it, and did a reboot, the sleep function started to work ok.

-zzzhpsetup did not show up in a full system search. Its msconfig
Startup Command column showed E:\Setup.exe and referenced
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run in the registry; however, there
is no recognizable item for zzzhpsetup in RegEdit. Google searches
reveal almost nothing about such a program, although it seems to show up
in peoples' HJT logs. I will just leave this item unchecked in the
msconfig startup list. I would like to remove it from the listing
altogether, but have not found a way to do this (since it does not show
up in the registry).

-At this point, I have returned most of my Power Save options to the
default values and the machine is sleep and waking normally. Obviously I
don't have a cause and effect conclusion that zzzhpsetup was the source
of the sleep problem, but on circumstantial evidence, it seems likely.

Thoughts from anyone would be welcomed.

I just tried this. It fixed my sleep problem completely! thanks!

OMG Please shoot me now! i tried everything on this thread and still
does not go to sleep.

Its my keyboard usb ( I have the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic keyboard
4000). I found out by taking out the keyboard's usb and putting the
computer to sleep and it was sleeping. Then when i put the usb back in
and put the computer to sleep, it didnt work!

I did do the Control Panel - System and Maintenance - Device Manager -
Keyboards - Power management - uncheck "allow device to wake the
computer"
STILL does not sleep. freak me

My thanks to all the effort that has gone into this thread. I have
implemented ALL of the suggested changes. Unfortunately, Vista still
won't sleep.
Then I removed my wireless mouse/keyboard (through USB) and replaced
them with traditional (wired) USB devices. And Vista sleeps...and
recovers...and sleeps ... and recovers.
While my problem may yet involve the wireless dongle, I suspect that
this problem must await SP1. I hope somebody from Microsoft is reading
this.

Thanks again for your suggested remedies.

While this is an old post from nealy 1 1/2 years ago, it solved my
issue....at least the first time I tried "sleep" after disallowing 2 devices
to awake the computer. Thanks very much!
