Fix Sleep Problems in Vista
by holsen1 - 3/24/08 10:08 PM In reply to: Thanks for that weblink by davmcnThis worked magnificently. Sleep works Again!!! Just to clarify davmcn's post, here it is again with a little more detail. When using disk cleanup, if you cleaned the hibernation file because you never intend to use it, it disables sleep. Here's how you reverse it:
IF YOU HAVE EVER RUN DISK CLEANUP DO THIS!
1. open start menu
2. type "cmd" (without quotation marks " ") in the white line (Start Search) area
3. right click on the cmd.exe (at top of the list)
4. click Run as administrator
5. type "powercfg -h on" (without quotation marks " ") and press Enter
6. close command prompt when it's finished
7. run the disk cleanup utility (start/all programs/accessories/system tools/ disk cleanup) then uncheck "Hibernation" so it doesn't happen again.
Voila, problem should solved!
Windows Vista sleep mode problem
by Peter Karugu - 5/2/08 7:40 AM In reply to: try this by geezer10This did not work. Have you found another solution yet?
This works
by notgonnatellya - 5/24/08 9:05 PM In reply to: try this by geezer10Turning on all of the sleep stuff in the bios fixed it for me.
I had 2 problems...if I kept hybrid sleep enabled, I couldn't get it to come out of that mode. If I turned off Hybrid, and turned on Hibernate, it rebooted.
It now works perfectly (hopefully it'll last, sense I'm leaving it with my parents....and it's tough to fix bios issues over the phone.

sleep mode problems with vista
by Hemanthaa - 9/10/07 6:06 AM In reply to: problem with sleep mode by izoteI had the same problem; what I did was to uninstall the graphic driver fully and re-install the lates driver from the manufacurer's site. It sorted out the problem. Microsoft update is of little help in situations of this kind
That's not suitable for me
by ykdang - 1/11/08 5:30 AM In reply to: sleep mode problems with vista by HemanthaaMy computer is a notebook Aspire 5102 with windows vista. I have the same problem. sleep turned out to be a dead mode, fan's running with a black screen. The only way to escape is to hold the power key.
I tried many many ways to figure that out, I even rolled back by reinstall but after install several updates the problem came.
I can't stand that a notebook can't sleep. So I finally determine to turn off the hibernate by command prompt. Now sleep mode is definitely fine, but computer can never hibernate of course. I don't know if it's the microsoft's problem. I hope they could fix it
This worked for me!
