I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit and when I first installed it on my system, sleep worked fine, no problems at all. Now however, when I try to enter sleep mode, the monitor will power off, I'll hear the hard drives powering down, it all sounds as though it's going swimmingly and then all of a sudden everything powers back up and I'm fully awake again.

My PC is quite old now, the spec is:
Intel P4C 3Ghz
ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe Motherboard
2Gb Corsair RAM
ASUS Radeon 9800XT
Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS

I do have various other peripherals and I'm not sure what could be causing the problem. Is there a program which will test sleep mode and will test which, if any, items of hardware are causing a conflict?
Have I suggested trying a repair install? They are great for making things work that used to work. If the installer indicates incompatibilities, then I would abort, uninstall the offending program(s), and then start the repair install again--although you should not need to take these extra steps.
