Vista Tutorial - Can't get vista to sleep.

For some reason my vista sleep mode is whacked.

I put my vista to sleep, and it shuts down, but then within 1 to 3 seconds
it starts right back up again.

I've gone into the device manager and turned off the ability for the mouse
and or keyboard to wake up the system, but it still goes to sleep then
immediately wakes right up again.

All help appreciated.

LAN activity can wake up the computer, check your BIOS settings.

Found the problem.....

It was a "gadget", I had the weatherbug and a calandar gadget, both of these
will access the net for new information (the calendar loads up a new image
behind it) and the weatherbug pulls new weather, so i removed both of these
and now the computer sleeps as it should.

Spoke too soon.

It worked one time, then I re awoke the computer and tried it again and it
immediately wakes up again. So it must not have been the gadgets at all.
