Sleepy computer!

[PapaBear]

I can't figure this out. For the past week, whenever I put my Windows 7 computer to sleep, then wake it up later, it will go back to sleep if I don't do anything for a few minutes. I checked the settings, I have it set to never sleep on it's own, and it didn't do this before this week. Should I get it some coffee?

I fixed this problem. If anyone else has the same problem, I can't help you. I was drunk at the time, and have no idea how I did it. Oddly, whatever I did helped in another way, too. Ever since I installed Windows 7, I was annoyed that I had the "sleep" option, but no "hibernate". The settings I changed, somehow made hibernate an option now.

Maybe the new features were part of an automatic windows update or patch? Have any service packs been released for 7 yet?

No. It was definitely something that I did, and not an update.

How do you like 7 so far? I got an iMac a few months back so I haven't kept up with Microsoft stuff for a while and my company is too cheap to upgrade my laptop.

I absolutely love it. And, I'm not sure why, but RF.net hardly ever lags since I got it. I just wish my old version of Photoshop Elements worked with it. It works when I use the XP Virtual Machine, but it limits the ram to 256MB in that mode.
