Guest Zac Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 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.

Most likely. Not everyone can see every news server, and the Vista groups seem to be fairly restricted in this respect.

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...

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?

They merely provide the IT facilities around here. All communication is restricted to going through a single server (there are security reasons for this).
