I have a ACER Aspire desktop. I bought it in Jan and sometime in April, it
began hanging coming out of sleep. I read that MS had released a hotfix to
solve this issue. Since SP1 is supposed to contain all the hotfixes, I

did a full system restore
updated all drivers and MS updates using windows update
then windows update showed me the SP1 update and I updated my vista home
premium to SP1

The system still hangs while coming out of sleep. Sometimes it hangs after
30 minutes and sometimes 12 hours, it is very intermittent. Acer says it is a
MS issue and MS has not been able to pinpoint what is causing the issue. They
have me disable various things and sleep and wake up the PC after 3 mins. How
does that help? It has hung even when only Kaspersky Int Sec and Vista
sidebar were the only two startup items running.

Any suggestions on what I should enable/disbale or try out? Thanks.

It's acer's problem even if they do blame M$.
Tell them you want a refund and you'll buy a proper PC which doesn't hang
for no reason.
