Vista will not go into sleep mode

Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I have Windows Vista. I was having a problem in that I would put it to sleep and it would "wake up" almost immediately. I remedied that by changing a setting such that the network adapter could no longer "wake up" the computer.

So I can now put it to sleep manually. However, I have the "Power Options" set so that it should go to sleep automatically after 20 minutes of inactivity, but it doesn't. How can I get it to go to sleep automatically? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question Report abuse.
