    Running Vista Business 32bit on my T400 and Energy Star Power scheme that I have set to never sleep but now for some reason machine goes to sleep probably after 15 minutes depsite power options settings.

    I have run Lenovo system update on this machine but has anyone else run into this problem and any solutions. I don't know if either a Lenovo utility or Windows update or some program I am running has changed these settings in some way. Anyway, thanks for your help.

    Have you set sleep settings for both battery and AC power to 'never'?

    Since you are referring to 'sleep' I'm assuming you are using Vista's own power management or have you installed ThinkVantage Power Manager?

    Thanks. Yes, I set Never for both AC and battery. I believe I found somehting in a third party program that may affect it but will still test a little further. Does not seem to have anything to do with Lenovo Power Manager or the Vista Power Options. I believe it might have to do with a setting I adjusted In CPUGnie that I use for undervolting. We will see and thanks again.
