Backup in sleep mode?

I used to have no problems getting Vista to backup and do other maintenance
at night while in the sleep mode. After my Vista reinstall I get error
messages from the backup program (couldn't run) and anti-virus program
(can't download updates), and a few others. I assume there is a setting
that I do not have right. Help please.

Thanks in advance... Bob

The main setting would be the 'Wake the computer to run this task' on the
'Conditions' tab for the task.

Double-click on a task in 'Task Scheduler' (right pane). Should be obvious
from there.
