Post subject:  I can't get any Sleep!

Running CS 4.30 on Win 7-64 using classic, one column start menu - Luna theme

I've configured CS to show 5 items on the shutdown menu and all of them show up except Sleep. If I try the Windoze start menu Sleep is there but it's "grayed out" so evidently Windoze feels I don't need any sleep.

What sort of problems can I check for?

Open Device Manager and make sure all your device drivers are correctly installed and functional. Sleep and other ACPI features require Plug and Play to be fully functional.

Thanks. My Device Mgr is in order. No missing drivers.

What else?

From an administrator (elevated) command prompt, run:

powercfg -a

It will show you the available sleep states. Although Windows does not tell you WHY Sleep is unavailable. Usually it's drivers and nothing else.

See this topic for technical details on how Windows determines Sleep should be available: https://colinxu.wordpress.com/2013/11/0 ... ows-788-1/

You can try updating/reinstalling your graphics driver.

New graphics install did it - thanks!
