Sleep feature in Vista not working.

[Guest Zac]

Problem: My sleep button on the PC isnt working on Vista (or XP).

Whenever I do press it, Vista says its going to sleep. Usually on my

other PC, when I do this , the power LED blinks and I can resume it by

pressing the power button. On this PC, I cannot as the light doesnt

blink, and when I press the power button the PC starts all over from

the Boot screen. My BIOS does have the s1&s3 enabled. Do you guys need

the my Vista power settings? And which information do you want? Anyhow

I would really like this feature work out thanks!

Here are my specs:

Asus M2A-VM (Suspend Type: s1&s3) enabled

AMD x2 5200

1 Gig of Ram

650 W Antec Neopower

160 HDD

(wireless keyboard and mouse) I don't know if the wake feature will

work with a wireless set, but pressing the power button should wake up

the PC.

Settings for Vista are , when I press the Sleep Button, It goes to

sleep. If I need more info here please tell me which ones.

This is a Windows XP newsgroup. Sleep is a feature in Vista not Windows

XP. You need a Vista newsgroup.

microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

Not everyone can see the Vista newsgroups. I certainly can't.

Most likely because you are not using the news server in the link I

provided.

Most likely. Not everyone can see every news server, and the Vista groups

seem to be fairly restricted in this respect.

Anyone may access the Microsoft news server if they wish. And this is

recommended if someone wishes to subscribe to a Vista newsgroup which is

not available on the primary news server a person uses.

I can't, so the statement "Anyone may access the Microsoft news server ..."

is, ergo, incorrect.

I'm sure you are able to access the MS news server if you wish to do so.

Why do you believe otherwise? All you need is an Internet connection and

a news reader configured properly. If you need assistance, I will be

happy to provide it.

 

Or is there something you're not telling me...

This PC is supplied and configured by the Computer Sciences Corporation

(CSC). CSC couldn't correctly configure a Gameboy.

Is CSC your employer, by any chance? Are they preventing you from

accessing the MS news server? Does your dentist have this much dificulty

removing your teeth?

CSC is not my employer. They merely provide the IT facilities around here.

All communication is restricted to going through a single server (there are

security reasons for this).
