[QUOTE="Pom, post: 873552, member: 23933"] Ditto me!! A brief history of my problem, my system was working fine until i decided to upgrade PS++ to 1.2.3.0. As soon as i did this, the MP client would be hung 100% of the time after returning from S3 state. Uninstalled PS++ to revert to the standard plugin = problem fixed. I went through this process 2 or 3 more times to confirm. After uninstalling PS++ the last time i found i had exactly the same problem as Luca above - i.e. the PC would only enter Away mode. I could also make it hibernate via windows Start menu, but NOT sleep. => Mine did NOT enter S3 state when i left it in this state overnight. It stays stuck in Away mode. Anyway, battled away with this over the whole weekend, with powercfg, Windows power settings etc. etc. to try to restore it to original form but had no luck. My breakthrough was when i downloaded the 'MCE Standby Tool' (slick) and just used it in basic mode to 'configure the current PC'. Here's what i found: if i set the sleep setting to S3 and "use Away mode on application request", i could then make the PC sleep! Then after i started MP client the PC would only use Away mode again... When i closed MP and re-opened MCE SB Tool again, the sleep setting had been set back to "Away mode always on". So MP appeared to be messing with this setting!!
