Hi guys. I'm having an annoying issue with Windows Vista.

Basically, I have altered my power settings so that the computer does
not enter sleep mode after 20 minutes. However, I have to change this
setting from "20 minutes" to "never" every single time I boot my
computer, even though I pressed "Save Settings" each time.

What could be causing this?

Kind Regards,

Matt
 
I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate (64 bit) with SP1. I changed the sleep
setting for the balanced power plan from 15 minutes to never, saved it and
rebooted. The sleep is never.

Thanks for the reply.

Sadly as soon as I rebooted this morning the power setting was back to
"Balanced" which has the 20 minute sleep mode setting. I have tried
just changing the settings within the "Balanced" mode, but they always
revert back to their defaults after a reboot.

Anything else I can try?

Kind Regards,

Matt
 
I am unable to re-create your problem. My Vista Ultimate 64 bit version with
Service Pack 1 remembers whatever settings I put in. Do you have SP1
installed?

Many thanks for the responses guys.

I gave that a go, and it came back with loads of things that needed
repairing. However, it still hasn't fixed the problem :(

Kind Regards,

Matt
 
I have the same problem with Windows Vista Business with SP1. Creating my
own power plan also reset to default after rebooting. I hope someone can
help.
