    When I go to put my system to sleep the screen shuts off but the computer stays awake. Lites stay on, fan ect..

    Any fix?

    fixed it, i have a feeling this fix will help anyone else who has this problem also.

    Control Panel> Hardware and Sound> Change when the Computer Sleeps> Change advanced Power Settings> Multimedia Settings> When sharing media. Select allow computer to sleep under the battery and and plugged in section.

    problem fixed

    Good find! Indeed it's something that should be set by default with Vista because it affects so many systems. I'm glad to hear you're up and running.
