Hi, with "hybrid sleep" turned on there is no hibernate option, just "sleep" - and when I try to put my PC into sleep mode, it resumes straightaway; that is about 1 second after going into sleep mode. If I turn hybrid sleep off, the hibernate option becomes available, but if I try to hibernate, the same thing happens, Vista just resumes straightaway. Also, I used to use standby all the time with XP, but this has disappeared completely, I presume it has been replaced by sleep.
Anyway, how do I actually use these power options?

Thanks

Well I have the same problem, but with my Motherboard manual it says that I can't use standby mode with it so Sleep and Hibernate won't work, but as you said standby also works on Windows XP for me.

Haven't checked the USB wake BIOS setting yet, but the first suggestion didn't work. "Allow this device to wake the computer" is greyed-out for both my wireless LAN card (which I use) and my Etherenet card (which I don't use). Something I did notice was that there is a third entry in Network Adapters in Device Manager: Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface which has an error:
"This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
Had a quick look for info on this thing but couldn't find much. I looks like it's something to do with IPv6 though. Do I need that?

In case anyone is interested, I have solved the problem by unticking "Allow this device to wake the computer" for my USB mouse. Oddly, this is ENABLED for my keyboard, yet I cannot wake my computer from sleep with the keyboard, I have to use the power button.

Thanks
