Windows Vista won't Hibernate.

Hi all

I'm on Windows Vista Home Premium and I have a problem with getting to stay in sleep mode extended computer.

I used to have Windows XP, and it was really easy. I had set it up as follows: display off after 15 minutes, standby mode after 30 minutes and hibernate after 45 minutes. I could manually put it in hibernation in the start menu.

I tried to get the same set up on Windows Vista, but I found it returns from hibernation in itself. If I select "Hibernate" in the start menu and then it will go into hibernation, but when I get back to the machine it will be still operational with the login screen again.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    Hi Mas_007,

    Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    I have a few here that might solve the problem.

    A.) Firstly, I suggest that you start the computer in safe mode and check if you are able to boot without any problems, safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not run in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed that, follow these steps to start the computer in safe mode with networking:

    To restart the computer using safe mode, restart the computer and press the F8 key for about four to five times. Appears in safe mode listed in the advanced options of Windows. Select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.

    (B) I suggest that you perform a clean boot on your computer, to help troubleshoot error messages and other issues; You can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    The following link has steps showing how to perform the clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    (1) perform the clean boot (check the link to perform the clean boot)

    (2) enable half the services

    (3) determine whether the problem returns

    (4) enable half of the startup items

    (5) determine if the problem returns

    (6) repeat the steps above until you find out which program or service is causing the issue

    After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

    Note: Please make sure that the computer is configured to start as usual by following step 7 of article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

    (C.) I suggest that you perform a scan of the file system [SFC] checker on the computer, the scan replaces the failed system of files with the original files from version of Windows on the computer system, follow the steps below to perform a scan:

    I suggest to empty the temp folder and later, follow these steps:

    i. Click Start > type % temp % in the start search box > press on enter > delete everything present in the temp folder.

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

    2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

    3. at the command calls, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  • web pages of Windows vista won't load using multiple browsers.

    Windows Vista, 32-bit.
    Card mother with an AMD processor - built Gigabyte in 2009.

    Computer has worked for a few years, however, now, he can not complete the loading of most web pages.

    Using multiple browsers (IE, Firefox and Chrome), we see the same behavior - web pages do not just end.
    Sometimes update gets more of a page - but for videos (youtube and other sites) - it is almost impossible to load a full clip of more than 2 minutes.

    Ping/tracert works very well.
    If passing through the VPN + desktop remotely, things work very well (this confirms that he is not the access provider when you use remote desktop, we are no longer local + all device drivers which could be the problem).
    Windows Update, seems to work very well.

    Download files from a web page, does not work.

    The computer is currently connected via Ethernet (not wireless).
    We have tried this on two different networks, so it is not associated with ISP.

    We tried to connect a USB network adapter - thinking it was hardware related, but that has not changed anything.

    We have tried to start in safe mode with networking - and it still does not work (so probably not the program antivirus - mcafee).

    I was able to get a live LInux OS running on the pc, and he had no problem loading the pages/videos, ect - what is not strictly material.

    I tried using some of the Netsh command to reset tcp/ip stack - but they don't solve the problem.

    I do not think that it will fix a Vista startup repair, but I advise him to try to do.

    I'm looking for any other suggestions in addition to switch to Linux full time.

    Thank you!

  • Computer Windows Vista won't standby automatically

    I have Windows Vista.  I had a problem because I put it to sleep and he "wakes" almost immediately.  I've remedied that by changing a setting such that the network card might is no longer 'wake up' the computer.  So I can now put to sleep manually.  However, I have the 'Power Options' so that he should go to sleep automatically after 20 minutes of inactivity, but not the value.  How can I get to go to sleep automatically?

    No, I'm not using a wireless mouse.  Or keyboard.  I have connected the device are:

    Phone Skype ("Logitech Cordless handset")

    Mouse, keyboard

    At the present time, no printer, but sometimes a printer

  • Windows Vista won't allow me to open my files in its own window

    I can't get Windows Vista change to allow me to open my files in their own windows. I was not able to do this since I bought this computer a few months ago. I thought I did something wrong, but I follow the directions to the T and it continues to open only the folders in the same window.  Y at - it something I'm doing wrong? I follow the directions for help and check open in its own window and yet it acts as if I do not change it... I apply and ok and press to apply to all the files and still nothing.

    I don't know what are the instructions you followed, so here is a series of instructions on opening the windows, including how open each instance in its separate window: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/91587-open-folder-same-separate-new-window.html.  Read full article and follow ALL these instructions (there are parts you include in your post that are important to make it work - but then again you probably do not understand everything).

    In the meantime, to open a specific folder in a new window, you can right click on the file and click on open rather than explore.  This will open the folder in a new window.  It's an extra step, but it is a workaround until you find the answer (if the above did not answer it).

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows Vista won't load - black screen each laptop time starts

    I have a Dell Insipron 1525, which does not load Windows Vista.

    I can't go past the Recovery Manager screen every time you start, and although I tried all the options available, it does not open in safe mode or normally.

    I tried the system restore (even if it says that it cannot find valid 'points'), as well as the repair of the system, and I have also run the Diagnostics, who said there is no error (although I could not see the final report). All paths lead ultimately to the black screen and although I can see and move the cursor, it is that I can get. Any ideas please?

  • Windows Vista won't load on my computer

    My Windows Vista computer does not load upwards after I log in.  As soon as I connect you I get an error message: "Windows Explorer has stopped working" followed by "Restart Windows" and then it never restarts.  I soon begin to receive error message that State that the other programs that try to load do not have managed to do.  I tried to reboot in safe mode, but I also have the same problems in safe mode.  I try to run a restore msconfig.exe and system, but the error messages will be displayed until I can get the controls and prevents me from doing anything.  The problem began Tuesday night 03/08/10 after I installed a router on my modem for wireless internet for laptop of my wife.  The router is a D-link router.  I think I might have to reinstall Windows vista, or at least try to fix it, but I was not apparently received a Windows Vista disk with my computer when I bought it from Best Buy.  Very frustrating to be sure.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
