Keep vista from falling asleep??

g25racer · 04-14-2008, 01:45 AM

It seems that vista keeps falling asleep even with all my power settings set to never turn off. I was looking for some kinda app. I found one called Noise and used it for a couple days and then for some reason avast picked it up as a virus today. Kinda weird!! The only way before to keep my pc awake is to run wmp 11 but for some reason now my pc starts falling asleep again. What gives??? Any app you guys tried out?? Any reg tweaks???

That's odd that it goes to sleep even when you have your settings to not. Maybe you could try to create a custom setting and see if that will work. Seems like I've heard of others with this problem and a custom setting fixed it. Good luck!

I'll try messing around with the settings and maybe regedit to figure something out.
