Hello,

You're computer is probably like mine ... it hates Windows Vista's sleep mode.

I have to hold down the power button to turn my computer off, hit the power
button again to turn it back on, and THEN it resumes from sleep mode.

You're supposed to just be able to click the mouse or keyboard and it should
zoom back to life.

Hopefully it will work for us in RC1!

I sure hope so also kind of sucks if you put it to sleep and you had
something opened that you where working on and you loose all of the time

There is a new hybrid method of sleep in Vista where hibernation also takes
place (the memory is written to disk before the computer goes to sleep).
What this means is if you inadvertently loose power to your computer, you
can just turn your computer back on and the computer resumes as if it was
put into hibernate instead of just sleep.
By default from what I see this feature is turned on.

Has anybody had this problem, even though they had the power options to NEVER
go to sleap mode? I'll leave mine for a couple hours and when I come back it
looks like it went into sleep mode and I can't get it back out.

Hmmm. I've just done a clean install of RC1 on a Toshiba Tablet PC (Tecra
M4) and I'm still encountering the problem described below. IThe disk/system
seems to awaken when I open the case or touch the mousepad, but nothing
appears on the monitor at all. have to do a hard restart to see anything on
the monitor. :-(

I have not experienced this problem since setting Sleep to NEVER BUT as a
preventative measure, just make sure you really have covered sleep mode
settings for all power schemes.

Really!!!! This has been a problem that I've experienced from day 1 on
previous builds and considering that MS is billing the rapid resume from
sleep as a feature and benefit, I think that it should really be fixed,
presumably by the retail release. It's annoying isn't it? I mean, it works
once or twice and then never again! ?
