XL302 Sleep Mode

[chris.campling@am65]

Recently purchased XL302 running Vista & one problem is it does not enter sleep mode after the set period if time. Works from the sleep button, but if left powered on it will stay on forever even though setting is to enter sleep mode after 30 minutes
Any help will be very much appreciated
Regards

Hi Chris,
I'm no expert, but I guess the place to start is to look for anything that is flagged as "active" which prevents your 302 going to sleep. Try disabling any screensaver. Is there a mouse plugged in? I have sometimes known a mouse to keep communicating an "active" signal which can interfere with sleep mode. Is there aynthing running in the System Tray which you don't need, eg any program which may be issuing interrupts which keeps the PC awake?
I know this is all a little vague, but perhaps it gives you somewhere to start.

Thanks for info, I think (hope) I have found the problem. Changed the following Advanced setting in Power Plan
Multimedia Settings/When Sharing Media
Changed to Allow Computer to Sleep
Seems to be working, thanks for your help
