    I have a Latitude D830 with Vista Business installed and whenever it goes into sleep, I can wake it up using the keyboard; I always have to push the power button. Is there any way to wake the laptop from sleep using the keyboard? Also, I have the WSXGA+ screen and websites look too small. Is there anyway I can set a permanent zoom? I tried using a css code but some sites, like Yahoo, are still tiny. Thanks.

    1- Are you sure your computer is in sleep mode (and not in hibernation)?

    2- Do you use Firefox?

    1. The computer is in sleep because I disabled hibernation.

    2. Anything will do but IE is preferred.

    I say that because I know that In Firefox, it's possible to set minimum fonts size,etc.

    I am aware of that options but you either have to set it every time you start Firefox (zoom or font increase) or you have to ignore the default fonts set by the website which messes up on layout (changing normal font size option in firefox). IE has a better page zoom function and I'm wondering if there's a way to make it permanent without zooming every time you start IE.
