colrich Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'm on Vista and am having trouble with the sleep settings in the control panel power options. The computer doesn't sleep whatever the timer settings- it only sleeps if I click start/shutdown sleepwWhat am I doing wrong? Is the time set for the screensavers to come on relevant in any way?- it shouldn't be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Usually the computer only sleeps when it is inactive. Is there any running programs on the computer that could interfere with this function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
