Hello,
My HP with Windows HP never stays "asleep." When it was new, a few months ago, it would shut down after 15 minutes. After connecting it to our wireless network and installing Windows Live One Care, it no longer stays asleep. As soon as it goes to sleep, it starts back up again right away. This cycling on and off can't be good for it. My settings in Power options are all to turn off after 10 or 15 minutes.

Thanks.

VERY SIMPLE! VERY CLEAR DIRECTIONS!

Go to >>> "ScreenSaver" >>> "Change Power Settings" >>> "Change Plan Settings" >>> "Change Advance Power Settings" >>> "Multimedia Settings" >>> "When Sharing Media" >>> and make sure the setting says "ALLOW THE COMPUTER TO SLEEP."

You can also change the settings to your liking in "Power Button and Lid"

This video on Youtube was very helpful >>>

The last time I looked this up there wasn't an answer, so you have much, MUCH love from my end for helping me with this (even indirectly) I though it had something to do with my touch screen -.-'

I have a new (1 month old) HP computer with Vista and I had the same problem. I was able to chat with someone in India who actually helped me with the problem. It appears HP computers come from the factory with with a setting that wakes up the computer immediately after it goes to sleep. Here are the steps:
1. Control Panel
2. Device Manager
3. Network Adaptor
4. NVIDIA nforce etc - open this
5. Power Management
* Uncheck: "ALLOW THIS DEVICE TO WAKE UP THE COMPUTER"

That will take care of the problem-- at least the one that this causes. There is even a warning on this page about checking that box.

Thanks bro!!! Great research on your part. You solved my identical problem. It was a different brand of network adaptor but Vista must have that option.

MANY THANKS!!!

Hello:

I have an HP TouchSmart with Vista 64-bit and OneCare. My network adapters have the box unchecked, yet periodically, OneCare wakes up my computer from sleep mode. The Event Viewer shows me that Windows OneCare is doing two things: (a) Router Configuration and (b) Network Location Awareness events. Anyone know how to stop this?

Thanks,

Paul
