Vista - Solution to Vista Sleep Problem

I had a problem with my HP desktop going to sleep. I would put it to sleep,
and it would immediately wake up. I tried everything suggested, and finally
stumbled on a solution (at least it solved the problem on my pc)

Go to Control Panel
Device Manager
Network Adaptors
click on the first listed (NVIDIA....)

Go to the Power Management tab and uncheck - "Allow device to wake computer"

There is even a paragraph on that tab warning that allowing the device to
wake your computer may cause it to "wakeup" when you don't want it
to!!!!!!!!!!!!

This worked for me, hope it works for others having the same problem.
