Vista - Problems with sleep

09-08-2007

I initally had sleep problems as well, however I've partially solved them.
After talking with my PC support desk they suggested I update my network
drivers. The network can wake a PC out of the sleep mode if any type of
communications is preceived. Doing this got me from always locking up upon
wakeup to working correctly most of the time.

The other thing I've found out is that it will wake up if it goes into a
power save sleep from a logged in user ID. I have 4 user ID's defined and
sometimes I will log out of my ID and leave it in the state waiting for a
user to login. If it goes into a power save sleep from this state it still
locks up. I have to shut down and reboot. When it comes up it indicates it
is "resuming windows" instead of a full power up sequence.

My problem is with the connection being broken after returning from
hibernation. My private network is using NAT, so the network configuration on
the computer is stored in the alternate configuration, this way I can still
use DHCP in other wireless networks. But when the computer returns from
hibernation its trying to connect via DHCP for like 10 minutes before it
decides to us the Alternate Configuration. This was never a problem with
WinXP, and I'm sure there are more people out there using NAT and DHCP. If
DHCP is not available isn't it suppose to attempt to use the Alternate
Configuration much quicker than the response that I am getting? if anyone
shed some light on this, or at least test it themselves, I would appreciate
it.

My problem is that when my computer goes into sleep mode, once it is wakened,
I have to restart the computer in order to reconnect to the internet. If I
don't the network says "identifying NETGEAR (my home network)" and under
Access: it says Local only instead of Local and Internet. I tried doing the
power options thing, but my computer was already set to the option suggested.
I also tried the command prompt thing, but I have no idea what it means or
what I should do about it. It is incredibly inconvenient to restart the whole
system in order to regain internet connectivity with my network. The only
thing I can think of is resetting the sleep options so that either it
doesn't sleep or to set the timer to a much higher time. That's ok if it's
plugged in, but if I'm using the battery that option will eventually kill the
battery life. Please help...

Is http://support.microsoft.com/default...b/933872/en-us your
problem?

In addition, be sure you have the latest firmware for your router
and driver for your network card.

Stanor - I have a worse problem with the sleep mode. The computer puts itself
into sleep mode if I don't touch it for about 30 seconds, and then it is
almost impossible to get it to come out of sleep mode whatever I do. Even
booting up the computer again doesn't always solve the problem. Any
suggestions from anyone would be appreciated.

what do you mean "booting up the computer again doesn't always solve
the problem"? what exactly happens? what do you see? what errors are
in the event log? what kind of computer? what video card and do you
have the latest drivers for it? do you have all the updates from
Windows Update?

What happens when I boot up the computer again it automatically goes into
sleep mode while it is booting up. I just then have a blank screen. My
computer is a Dell ACPI x86-based PC with the Vista Home Premium with an
Inspiron 530 hard drive. As far as I know I have all the updates from Windows
Update - this is a brand new computer, about 3 months old

If the machine is giving up during boot up, it is most likely a driver
problem. It is time to do a system restore with that disk you made when you
first got it or was supplied with it. As the previous poster advised, it is
probably a video driver that was installed as an update. If you can get the
machine to boot, do a system restore to a restore point before that update.
If it won't start windows, you'll probably have to do a Windows restore for
the disks above. Good luck.

Dean-Dean, I had to do some searching. My Vista windows must be set up a bit
differently. My system finally goes to sleep mode whereas previously onlt
the monitor shut down.
Thank you!

Stanor n/a posts	Re: Problems with sleep Stanor - I have a worse problem with the sleep mode. The computer puts itself into sleep mode if I don't touch it for about 30 seconds, and then it is almost impossible to get it to come out of sleep mode whatever I do. Even booting up the computer again doesn't always solve the problem. Any suggestions from anyone would be appreciated.

Barb Bowman n/a posts	Re: Problems with sleep what do you mean "booting up the computer again doesn't always solve the problem"? what exactly happens? what do you see? what errors are in the event log? what kind of computer? what video card and do you have the latest drivers for it? do you have all the updates from Windows Update?

Stanor n/a posts	Re: Problems with sleep What happens when I boot up the computer again it automatically goes into sleep mode while it is booting up. I just then have a blank screen. My computer is a Dell ACPI x86-based PC with the Vista Home Premium with an Inspiron 530 hard drive. As far as I know I have all the updates from Windows Update - this is a brand new computer, about 3 months old "Barb Bowman" wrote: Quote: > what do you mean "booting up the computer again doesn't always solve > the problem"? what exactly happens? what do you see? what errors are > in the event log? what kind of computer? what video card and do you > have the latest drivers for it? do you have all the updates from > Windows Update? > > On Fri, 7 Dec 2007 12:13:03 -0800, Stanor > <Stanor@xxxxxx> wrote: > Quote: > >Stanor - I have a worse problem with the sleep mode.

Wandering n/a posts	Re: Problems with sleep If the machine is giving up during boot up, it is most likely a driver problem. It is time to do a system restore with that disk you made when you first got it or was supplied with it. As the previous poster advised, it is probably a video driver that was installed as an update. If you can get the machine to boot, do a system restore to a restore point before that update. If it won't start windows, you'll probably have to do a Windows restore for the disks above. Good luck.
