I have Windows Vista Home Premium, with service pack 2, running at 64 bit operating system. Recently, my computer sleep mode will not activate. When i hit "sleep" monitor goes blank but the computer does not go into power save mode. I have followed a couple of Microsoft suggestions (i.e. turn off and on the sleep, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

I've found Sleep and Hibernate to work great for some folks and to be very buggy for others. Instead of either, I always recommend setting the display and hd to power down after a defined period of inactivity.

Sleep and Hibernation issues can be traced to non-updated drivers such as video card drivers.
