battery backup not on in sleep mode

I was hoping someone here may have an answer to this. The last set of updates I did SP2 and all the ones that came with it seemed to have changed something in the sleep mode. When I put my HP to sleep at night, it seems that the battery backup is lost. I know this because when I wake the computer in the AM, it says that the computer lost communion with the battery backup and then says very quickly that it has been restored! My concern is that if we have a storm and the battery backup is not working right then it won't allow me to safely shut down the computer! Has anyone had this issue lately??? I can't seem to find any info. on it!
Thanks
Addie

Try to reinstall the software that came with the battery backup and see if that helps.

Re: battery backup not on in sleep mode

Will do, I first have to install these new updates and then find the disc for battery backup - I hope I still have it somewhere.....If not, I wonder if I can download the new software from the website?
Thanks
