Paused long and sleep don't work on Windows 7 Home Premium

A few weeks ago the Hibernate and sleep functions stopped working on my SONY VAIO laptop.  By that I mean, I can click on functions and it seems to work fine, BUT a minute later he wakes up.  I disabled hibernates and then helped him, but this does not solve the problem.  Then one week there is exactly the same thing started to happen on my Lenovo desktop all-in-one computer.

I never had this problem on any of my computer before, is more strange would happen on two computers in a few weeks apart.  It makes me think that a recent Windows Update may have caused the problem.

Yet once, put in hibernation until sleep only works for a minute, and then he wakes up again.  I am convinced that it is NOT caused by a former pilot or a device that wakes the computer since we are talking about two distinct and unique computers that do not share anything other than a printer.

Thoughts or ideas to solve this problem is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    See the title.

    Hello Gemard,

    Streets and trips 2008, 2009 and 2010 are compatible with Windows 7. Earlier versions may not work, however you can try and use Compatibility Mode.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    Use the following steps:

    (1) right click on the program

    2) click Properties

    3) click on the Compatibility tab

    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

    Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If compatibility is not successful, then try and run the program compatibility problems:

    1. open the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button.

    Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click on run programs for previous versions of Windows.

    2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    If it is not a success, since you're under Windows 7 Home Premium, you can search for 3rd party software of vitualization that works on Home Premium and run Streets and Trips in a virtual environment.

    If please reply back and let us know if it helped to answer your questions.
