Vista - Sleep Problems

Hello

I use Dell Inspiron 1525 and Vista Ultimate.
My Sleep Mode is having problems. When I press Power button or close the lid laptop is setup to Sleep - (default setup) - but it doesn't instead it display OS Black screen saying that the Windows wasn't shutdown properly and gives me option to start in Safe mode etc or start normally. In 15 seconds it resumes windows. I looked and power settings and restored all defaults to no avail.

Welcome to the Vista Forums Mark

We have an excellent tutorial that covers many of the issues with sleep mode. Here's the link: Power Options and Sleep Mode Problems

Let us know if you find a solution that works for you.

Thanks Joe

I did search forum and read some of the solutions but none applied to my issue - I'll take another look at the tutorial.

Mark,
You should be able to correct this problem by doing the following:

Open Control Panel and type Device Manager in the Search box. Open Device Manager and expand Network Adaptors. Right click on Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-Card and select properties. Select the Power Management tab and uncheck the box next to "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power."

Good Luck.
