When I first downloaded Vista the sleep mode worked fine, but now when I
click on "sleep" the screen goes blank, but the computer is still working(fan
going, hard drive spinning, etc.). Anyone know why this is happening or how
to fix it so my computer will sleep.
 
Hi,

There are a whole slew of reasons that the sleep function won't work, but
chief among them is that either an application is running that won't
terminate or a driver for some piece of hardware on your system doesn't
support it. If it worked in an earlier beta version but not in this one,
suspect a driver change. If it previously worked in this build, then suspect
some software that you installed or hardware that you added after the
initial setup. Either way, detecting precisely what is the problem is not
going to be easy. Keep in mind that supplied drivers are designed to provide
basic functionality, and may not necessarily support full functionality.

If you have Daemon Tools 4.0.6 Installed, Uninstall it, it causes Major
Problems with Sleep Mode, Just FYI.

Bug Report has already been Submitted, Just FYI.
