[QUOTE="scott_mckenzie, post: 959868, member: 122101"] Hi kiwijunglist, OK, I think the next step for me is to work out the most likely options you have suggested. I think I have tested the first one - I turned off my TV, then the AVR, and finally my htpc with the mce remote. I cannot get the mce remote to resume as previously described, so I have tried to vnc in. Vnc can't connect. I think that closes off the first possibility. Also there is no sound from the htpc at all (no fan noise). As for the second option, I have looked into things a bit more and my understanding is that if the option in the power settings called allow hybrid sleep is set to 'on', it will disable hibernation mode. When I set this to 'off', hibernation mode is available to be selected in the win 7 shutdown options. Funnily enough, if I leave the display on and go into hibernation mode, it wakes perfectly. I am curious though, my understanding is that hybrid sleep enables some hibernation features even though it disabled. I'm wondering if there is a way to only have pure s3 mode - maybe changing one of these settings will miraculously fix the issue. While I might have to go down that road - I really want to avoid purchasing any other hardware just to get sleep mode working. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Scott [/QUOTE]
