    For some reason my computer seems to be having a problem going into sleep when it is set to do so. For instance, I leave home with my computer set to go to sleep in 30 minutes and I come home and it's on? That really ticked me off. For some reason it doesn't seem to be going to sleep. Could this be because of the screen saver going on that could be messing it up? I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

    I think it will only sleep when there is no active programs being used. so a screensaver coming on can disable the sleep function or even something like a pop-up from the antivirus software.
