I was just down in their place, and they asked me "how do you put this in sleep mode?" and I said: "well, I'm not sure about Vista, but there is a button on the keyboard (and sure enough it was the half moon button), so I said "this has got to be it. I pressed the button and nothing happened.

Am I incorrect? Is this not the way to put a computer using Vista, well isn't this how one puts a computer into sleep mode??



Melody
To put Vista to sleep, click on the Windows icon bottom left corner -blue ball with 4 coloured squares. You can choose, standby (powersaving), lock or sleep. Sleep is the little arrow on the right of the bar, next to the padlock.
Vista is a new operating system, and a lot of things that worked previously may not work. Check for new drivers, or replace components. No easy solution-some things have been made obsolete by Vista.
