RE: Vista will not wake up from sleep mode

I have a similar problem. When my PC goes into sleep mode it disables the
keyboard and mouse so I have no way to get it out of sleep mode. A hard
reboot wakes it up, but this is not healthy operation. I have run all updates
but no progress on this issue. Any suggestions?

I have the same machine. Came with 2GB however. Have you set the mouse
and/or keyboard to be able to wake the machine?

Same problem here.

Since mine is a desktop machine, not a laptop, I keep an old PS2 mouse
connected and hidden away. When the wireless mouse and keyboard refuse
to wake it, I just whack the wired mouse, and it wakes up.

Pretty lame, but it works.

Go to Advance Power Settings.
Set hard drive to turn off a minute or 2 before sleep.
Set Hybrid and Hibernate modes to "Off"
Under USB settings select "Disable"
Under Multimedia select "Allow ....."

After reading post after post of people experiencing the same Vista
Sleep - no wake up issue - I was really sad. Just got a new Compaq
Presario running Vista today for the kids. One of the bonuses was
upgrading to a PC that WOULD sleep!

Anyway, in despair I clicked around and here's what fixed it (for now
anyway)

Go to Control Panel
System Maintenance
Power Options
Click on "Change Advanced Power Settings"
Expand +Sleep
Expand +Allow Hybrid Sleep
Change this to "OFF"

I have no idea what Hybrid Sleep is - really don't want to know. All I
know is that now when you put the PC to sleep - the thing sleeps and the
power button changes to the expected orange color.

I can wake the PC up by pushing the sleep button or by pressing any
key. The mouse doesn't seem to wake it up (its a tablet so maybe
there's a thing going on there). But I can live with that compromise.

Hope this helps someone else!

Actually just the opposite worked for me. I have an ACER Aspire 5920G,
and it started to sleep and wake up properly after I changed the
Hybrid Sleep setting to ON.

Gotta look up what hybrid sleep means...

I was having the same problem - i.e. Vista would go into sleep mode and
not wake up - have to do a hard restart.

The additional problem for me was that I use my computer to record
television shows via the Media Center. The temporary solution I suggest
(though not very energy efficient) is to go to: Control Panel ->
Hardware and Sound -> Power Options and on the left bar click "Change
when the computer sleeps" and choose "Never" in the pull down menu.

Hope this helps...

Lets all go back to June 2007 and celebrate your revelation.

Don't pick a fight with an old man.
If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

 

The first solution to this problem was posted about a year ago. I
offered an alternative (albeit somewhat prosaic) solution. Michael,
let's let the forum users decide whose post is more useful... Yours or
mine.

Firstly, this isn't a forum. It's a Usenet newsgroup.
(microsoft.public.windows.vista.general)
Secondly, your 'solution' was really a work-around, not a repair.
Thirdly, without including any of the original post, even though it is
*over* 2 years old, no one here has any idea WTF you're talking about!
