Why Vista won't sleep?

My Windows Vista laptop will not fall asleep (a bit like my niece of 3 years and his nephew).  I press the power button and it shutsdown, then the moon just above the keyboard lights, which indicates the mode 'sleep'. Then, there is a beep, and he "wakes up" and asks me to connect.  Why he will not sleep and how to fix it?

Then, when I fall asleep, the computer is idle for a certain time and set power options my PC in "standby", then it will beep and power back on - all night long (the situation is even worse if I close my blanket and he travels between going to "the sleep mode" and turn on/off.)

Also, I read in the help file on a different type of sleep called Hibernate (or something like that). But the help file didn't tell you how to turn on hibernation. There is no Hibernate option on menu close of session/stop/restart on the start menu (what you call). How do that (after I fixed the first problem)?

Thank you
-Jeff

Hello Jeff999,

Please use the Forum for answers.

Solution:

> Enter the Device Manager.
> Right click on the wireless network device and click Properties.
> Click power management.
> If 'Allow this device to wake the computer' was not selected, select it and click OK.

That should solve the problem.

Thank you.

  • Windows 7 won't sleep

    Hello, I have had this problem since I have upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 in November 2009, and it becomes too boring.
    I have a SONY VGN-NW120D and am under a system Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. (If we need more information, please ask!)
    in any case, this is the problem:
    When my laptop goes to sleep, he won't sleep. The screen goes black, but still running clear because the fans are always on the laptop. However, at this point, the laptop becomes insensitive. The display lights not return no matter I do... he can't do anything - it's like it is frozen... forcing me to do a force-stop by pressing the power button for 15 seconds.
    I've downloaded several drivers on the Sony site and have even talked to representatives of Sony for this problem, but there was no chance.
    This problem does not occur everytime I send my laptop to sleep, but it happens often enough to be a great nuisance.
    I asked around many forums but have not gotten a solution yet. I tried even back to my laptop to factory State (and so back to Vista), and then he reupgrading back to Windows 7. I hope someone will help me this time until the issue is resolved.
    Thank you very much!

  • That is apple music app install content and why it won't recognize my Apple ID and password?

    That is Apple music app install content and why it won't recognize my Apple Id and password? It aims to prevent the battery I recorded on my iPhone being recognized on GarageBand on my Mac.

    My guess is that you see an authentication dialog window requesting Admin username and password on your computer, because he wants to install files on your system (such as GarageBand/logic sounds) directory. This has nothing to do with your Apple ID that allows you to buy apps from the App Store.

    Looking for something like this window?

    Hope that helps

  • Can someone tell me how to keep my Vista system "in sleep"?

    Can someone tell me how do to keep my Vista system "in sleep" - then go to the Welcome screen? I have check and re-checked read settings to 'NO' to sleep, hibernate, etc..

    Hello

    ·        Do you use a system or a laptop?

    ·        If you use a laptop, then when the laptop goes to sleep, on the mode of power supply or battery?

    ·        Have you checked if hybrid sleep is enabled?

    There are two options in the laptop. We need to put the system to sleep when the notebook is on battery or put the laptop to sleep when it is plugged into the power supply. Check the adjustment and change appropriately.

    There are a few settings in the BIOS that can be changes to stop the sleep system. I suggest you to contact the system manufacturer for assistance.

    Thanks and regards.

  • HP 2311 x monitor won't sleep

    I have my system my computer Setup will put my monitor to sleep after 10 minutes if the computer is idle.  The problem is that my monitor will not fall asleep.  It shows the system status menu, scan for input device, said so he'll sleep, power light goes Orange and a few seconds later he wakes. Then start the whole process again and again.  If I put the system to sleep monitor goes to sleep (didn't at first when I got until I updated the driver of HP).  I connected it to the DVI plug.

    It seems that I found my own solution and I'm posting so it can help others.  Although my computer is about 3 1/5 years it has a DVI and VGA connections for the monitor.  The HP2311x monitor has DVI, VGA and HDMI connections.  I got the screen hooked up using the DVI connection.

    I changed and hooked it up to the VGA connection.  Set the computer up so the monitor going to sleep in a minute and waited.  Monitor went to sleep and not wake up until I moved the mouse.  Tested several times more and no problem.  So apparently there's something with connections DVI monitor won't sleep when you use this connection.

  • Why Vista WMP can't play .asf files and why MS has not created a fix for this?

    Why Vista WMP can't play .asf files and why MS has not created a fix for this?

    Hi pdaamckechnie,

    The ASF Format (Advanced Systems) is the preferred Windows Media file format. With Windows Media Player, if the appropriate codecs are installed on your computer, you can play audio content, video content, or both, that is compressed with a wide variety of codecs and that is stored in an .asf file.

    You can check the link below for more information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player

  • Why my 64-bit Windows 7 computer won't sleep without me having to stop it?

    When I'm done for the day with my computer, I click on the power button that is preparing to sleep. Recently, I noticed when I wake my computer is also awake. Since then, I learned from my granddaughter that he wakes up around midnight. She also told me that another that wake up in itself nothing else produced, no program starts, no change of the screen, nothing he just wakes up. Please help me solve this puzzle. I am running Windows 7 64 bit which is an upgrade of Windows Vista 32-bit, and yes I have updated all the components for my computer 64-bit ready. I love Windows 7, but since I installed it my computer became little glitchy if it is a legitimate Word. But nothing for it, is as annoying as this revival on its own.

    Have you visited your site of PC makers, so great oem for example Dell / HP or laptop and check the updated drivers specific to your model, and if a win7 PC generic your motherboard manufacturers website?

    Have you also checked the schedular task to see if there are active tasks for this time?
