Vista won't go to Sleep

[John Barnes]

My motherboard manual has lists S3 as hibernate. Go figure.

Interesting that I have never had a BIOS that supported anything but S1, S3
or S1+S3, yet hibernate has been offered as an option, which seems to work.
Thanks for the reference.

i've tried these suggestions, and this is what happens:

i put the computer to sleep, i hear the disc slow down and stop (?)
but then it immediately starts back up and the computer comes out of
sleep...

this is a newer HP computer that came with vista home premium.

the thing is, i don't remember this happening before i installed my
high speed internet (from verizon)...

could this have something to do with it???
