    I have recently tried using sleep mode and noticed it restarts everytime i press it, this is kind of annoying, i have tried using this software i read 2 weeks ago and it works pretty well, however i got rid of it and i do not remember the software name..does any know of any vista/xp sleep management software? it gave options like s1, s2, s3 modes...

    Its a freeware too..i can't recall the software name and even looked through 20+pages on search..

    thanks for any replies

    I believe it's cause by using 180.48 driver. any driver 180.xx causes my asus laptop to restart when on sleep. Try going back to 178.xx or 179.xx. Read topics at laptopvideo2go and it's a problem with quite a few diffrent brands of laptop. if you want to keep 180.48, use hibernation instead of sleep until a solution if found.

    . Shutter?
