Vista won't go to sleep by itself

Can anyone help with this please?

I have the Vista power settings set so that my pc should go to sleep after
30 minutes. This always used to work until some months ago - -perhaps the
same time as I installed SP1 - so that now it runs continuously.

If I manually force the pc to sleep, there is no problem so I do not think
it is a wireless mouse problem etc as reported elsewhere.

Any ideas please?

Salvador, Thanks for your helpful reply.

However, in the meantime, I think I have fixed the problem by another means.
A friend suggested changing the Multimedia sharing setting to 'allow the
computer to sleep' and now it does, all by itself!

I wasn't aware that I had changed this setting but do recall opening the
Windows Media Centre some time ago - perhaps this made the change?
