Well Wouter,

You could also try a repair (upgrade) install to see if it can salvage
it for you. If nothing else, you should be able to retrieve and backup
any data you want afterwards before doing a clean install.

I'm happy to hear that you almost got it all sorted out. See if thi
tutorial can help you with the computer waking up from hibernation mode
I would look at the BIOS and Network device to make sure that the "Wak
On..." options are disabled

Hope this helps

First I solved 'this'
(http://www.vistax64.com/network-inte...tml#post794898)
problem, last week ;-)

*Before* I upgrade from XP-SP3 to Vista Ultimate I could enter the BIOS
with F2. Now F2 enter the Windows Bootmanager

I don't think that I succeed to implement the power saving options
(which I couldn't either with XP). F.i. in the advanced options of my
NIC (3COM Gigabit LOM (3c940) there isn't an entry
"Shutdown-Wake-on-LAN". I see only "Wake up Capabilities" (is now both)
no option disable..

The only relevant option in the P4P800 Bios (Power menu) is the Power
Management/APM (enable/disable) which is enabled default, but I couldn't
now in the BIOS setup of my system to disable this feature. I don't see
(in the user manual) the *ACPI mode* (*S3* or *S1* is enabled). However,
the command "powercfg -a" results in:
C:\Users\wouter>powercfg -a
The following sleep states are available on this system: Standby ( S1
S3 ) Hiber
nate Hybrid Sleep
The following sleep states are not available on this system:
Standby (S2)
The system firmware does not support this standby state.

C:\Users\wouter>

Wouter,

I must admit that I am not sure why your sleep mode is not functioning
correctly. When you upgraded from XP SP3 to Vista, did you do so by a
clean install or upgrade to Vista from within XP. If the later, then you
may need to do a clean install of Vista instead to clear out any bad
remnants of XP that may be causing problems.
