CNET on sleep disorders and standby issues in Windows

A head’s up from Lifehacker, Dennis O’Reilly from CNET Blogs discussed Fixes for Windows standby and sleep problems in his productivity blog.

“If you’re familiar with putting your PC in Standby or Hibernate mode (and hopefully you know the difference), you probably know that both are anything but a sure bet. Dennis O’Reilly, blogger at CNET, runs through a few checks any Windows user should go through to make sure their computer slumbers when they want it to. Among the fixes are disabling the “Wake on LAN” setting in BIOS, pruning down scheduled tasks and modifying the properties of your mouse and keyboard.”
