Desktop, or laptop?

It's a desk top, home made. But until this problem, very efficient. I also should add, it is the No. 1 computer on a 4 system network. I challenged the network by having all machines on, and the, all machines (2-4) off. But the WOL in bios is disabled, anyway.

I also need to say, I am getting an error msg about my graphics card. I updated it, as suggested, even installing the catalyst software that ATI suggested.

Since it's desktop, I'd forget about any Windows power saving features. They've never been mastered by MS.

Thanx for hangin' out with me. Sorry I was so long responding. Af'noon nap!

Let's put it this way...
I never used any power saving feature and I don't recommend it to anyone.
It may work, most of the time it doesn't so, why to use it, or waste time to fix it?

You have a point. Since I last replied to you, I reinstalled the ATI adapter, as per this error message that I was getting each time it wouldn't work, and it "seemed" to be working againg. But, ALAS!, it woke up, but this time with no reference to the ATI adapter. It just woke up!
I guess I'm intent on fixing this stupid feature because on my other machines, it works just fine. With the exact same settings! Weird.

Try unplugging various things on the back before sleeping (even the keyboard and mouse too, if USB. Just press "Sleep" and then quickly unplug).

That's exactly my point. Sometimes, it works, sometimes it doesn't. If you have a lot of free time to burn, you can surely investigatebecause on my other machines, it works just fine
