in the menu closing sleep does not work

When I close the lid, the computer will not sleep. I use Windows Vista on laptop Dell Inspiron 1525

Hi YuhanonMeletius,

First, go to start / Control Panel / Power Options / choices of closing the cover and make sure it says sleep for AC and battery.  If it has not been set in this way, restart, and then try to close the lid to activate the sleep and see if it works now.

Click Start and click the arrow to the far right on the bottom and select standby and see if it puts the computer to sleep.  Whatever it is, wake up computer if necessary and let it start entirely or if it does not just move, then click the Esc key and the FN key at the same time and see if it works.  I am trying to determine if the function sleep itself does not at all or if the problem occurs only with the lid closed.  Please notify you next reply.

If this does not work, I recommend you to go through the steps described in this article about problems in sleep mode: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/63567-power-options-sleep-mode-problems.html and see if the options allows to solve the problem.

Not mentioned above (if I remember), that is if you share media.  If so, this can disable sleep mode and can be solved as follows: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/re-enable-sleep-mode-in-windows-vista/.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
