Hi guys. I'm having an annoying issue with Windows Vista.

Basically, I have altered my power settings so that the computer does
not enter sleep mode after 20 minutes. However, I have to change this
setting from "20 minutes" to "never" every single time I boot my
computer, even though I pressed "Save Settings" each time.

What could be causing this?

Kind Regards,

Matt

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate (64 bit) with SP1. I changed the sleep
setting for the balanced power plan from 15 minutes to never, saved it and
rebooted. The sleep is never.

Hello Matt,

See if Vista will remember your changes after resetting the Power Plans
back to default.

Hope this helps,
