I have a new Dell Inspiration 530 and was experiencing the same problem. I
Set the power options to never sleep, Hard drive never sleep etc. but in the
morning it was like trying to wake up my teenage son, no avail.

In one of the threads someone mentioned updating the bios. I went to the
dell site and downloaded and installed a newer update and now the problem
seems to be solved.

I haven't had time to experiment with the power settings to activate sleep
mode since I have updated bios.

Hope this helps

I'm having the same issues listed above with a 6-month old Dell
Inspirion. It doesn't happen every time, but about once a week I have
to do a hard boot to get the computer to wake up. It got worse this
morning, because now even a hard boot doesn't get the computer out of
sleep mode. Anyone have any ideas on this problem?

I have set my power options to never sleep. Until someone comes up with
a solution, this was my only option. I have talked with HP reps until I
am convinced that they do not yet have a solution. Microsoft seems to
be waiting on its customers to come up with a solution through these
forums. I have tried every suggestion and my sleep function continues
to put my computer to permanent sleep. A forced restart is the only way
to wake it up.

I have a brand new Gateway, only 3 days at home, and had a problem with sleep
mode and had to use the power button to close Windows (not the way to do
things!). Windows did not load properly, since it did not shut down properly,
and a black screen came up with the Safe Mode options, plus a Load Windows
Normally prompt, which I selected --- and it opened OK. This is alarming on
a NEW computer! I think I'll take everyone's advice and disable sleep mode,
but I'd rather not since I use my PC 4 or 5 times a day.

Actually just the opposite worked for me. I have an ACER Aspire 5920G,
and it started to sleep and wake up properly after I changed the
Hybrid Sleep setting to ON.

Gotta look up what hybrid sleep means...

I have a Dell Studio 1535. The problem regarding a slow wake up seems
to vanish when the wifi button is switched to off before raising the
lid. Strange but it works.

Hi:
I just started having a similar problem after the latest Vista update
to my Dell Insiron 530. Turns out if I hit ctr/alt/delete and then when
the sceen comes up with the action to take options I just hit cancel the
computer comes back to life. An easy enough fix so I'm not bothered by
the situation. However, I wish Microsoft would do a better job of
debugging their updates. I usually have a weird problem or two come up
after each update.

Are you using a wireless keyboard and mouse?

I read Bob's post on 21-02-2010, "Re: Vista will not wake up from sleep
mode" in which he asks about a wireless mouse. I am using a wireless
mouse and it works to wake up from sleep most of the time but if not I
have to do a manual power off and reboot.

Okay. Thanks for sharing?

Wondering what that was all about? You are probably not alone:
