It certainly shouldn't be doing this, and from looking at Help on this subject, it may be a BIOS problem in so much as it is either not turned on properly in BIOS, or perhaps not supported at all. Almost impossible to do without sighted help I know, but it may be worth looking at upgrading the BIOS. Just one other thought. Have you applied Vista Service Pack 1 yet? I found that fixed quite a number of issues with my own system.

Every time I send my Vista machine to sleep it wakes up in 30 seconds time. I looked in settings, but I could only find options to alter the computers activity time before sleeping. Can someone advise me what I can do to get the computer to sleep up to an hour? ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
