I use windows vista.
I use windows vista. Whenever I try to put my computer into sleep mode, it goes to sleep mode and after about 5 seconds it turns back automatically to normal mode (with no button pressed or no movement of the mouse).
How can I solve this problem?

Your previous was not clear. If you buy an upgrade to Windows 7, you will get a product key so that it can be activated. If you do not have a key, you will need to contact the company you bought Windows 7 from. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

FAT32 formatting for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista
How to format FAT32 file system for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista?
Hi MVRMVR,
Windows will work generally only format a drive in FAT 32 if it has a capacity of 32GB, no more. To format in FAT32, Yes, would need to create multiple partitions. This, of course, you don't want to do.
I have not tried to format a large drive in FAT 32 but I guess that any third-party partitioning software (Acronis, Paragon etc.) would be able to do it without any problem. Alternatively you can do it from the Windows command prompt. For more details, see the link below:

How can I get microsoft publisher works on my computer which uses Windows Vista Home Premium
whenever I try to download microsoft publisher or microsoft office professional edition with publisher on my laptop which uses windows vista, I get an error message saying that the implementation is unable to act because I need as a result of the other x86platform with vista sp1, or the x64platform with vista sp1... What does that mean? and how can I Publisher on this computer? Thank you
Hello
You will need to make a direct download of the SP1, SP1 is no longer available via Windows Update.
You don't say what that 'little' version of Vista you have (32-bit or 64-bit) and x 86 in your question is the 32-bit version:
Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > it will tell you it.
Select download OK "bit".
Download for Vista SP1 (32-bit): http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=30
