Re: Vista won't sleep a 2nd time!

I had similar problems and I'm not sure it's solvable. My NEW HP
before any updates would go to sleep and wake up perfectly every time.
Then after the very first round of windows updates (this was about 18
months ago) it would no longer handle "sleep" properly. Sometimes it
would work right for one sleep cycle but on the second cycle it would
crash. So I gave up on sleep and turned it off. I also found that
just doing "shut down" no longer worked properly. Now it will often
shut down but after about 10 seconds the power light comes back on and
the hard drives all spin but it doesn't boot. It will sit like that
forever. I have to hold the power button down for the 20 seconds or
so and then it finally shuts off and stays shut off.
