Resolution for Sleep Vista 64

[Guest Rod]

I thought i would post this since it took me forever to figure out, and may

save someone some time.

 

Vista 64 would sleep if i hit the sleep key on my keyboard, but would not

sleep automatically (after the time set).

 

Resolution was to re-install the wireless keyboard and mouse with Vista 64

drivers. As it turned out they were using vista 32 drivers and since they

worked i did not think they were an issue, but by updating them it fixed the

sleep issue.

It couldn't use 32-bit drivers, so the odds are it was using native built-in

64-bit drivers and the correct or updated drivers fixed your issue. Glad it

is fixed.
