MAMEWorld Forums - The Loony Bin - Windows 7 will hibernate ok, but sleep fails.

I just installed Windows 7 32-bit on a computer with an older ASUS P4P800-VM motherboard (Pentium 4 + AGP).

I appears to hibernate and wake up fine, but when put in sleep mode, the video doesn't wake up.

Windows 7 SP1 was recently installed by windows update, but I don't know if hibernate/sleep worked correctly before since I didn't test it.

Normally, windows just has one "sleep" option in the shut down menu. I turned off "hybrid sleep" in the advanced power options as suggested in some forums and now I have both "sleep" and "hibernate" in the menu. As mentioned, choosing the hibernate option works fine. The computer shuts down and resumes correctly. Sleep, does not.

From what I can tell, this is the OPPOSITE of what most people experience. Usually sleep works but hybernate doesn't.

In my BIOS, I have these options...

Suspend Mode [Auto]
Options: [S1 (POS) Only][S3 Only][Auto]

Repost Video on S3 Resume [No]
Options: [No][Yes ]

ACPI 2.0 Support [No]
Options: [No][Yes ]

ACPI APIC Support [Enabled]
Options: [Disabled][Enabled]

BIOS->AML ACPI Table [Enabled]
Options: [Disabled][Enabled]

Anyone have suggestions on how I might fix this? I've seen all kinds of crazy suggestions, but so far, none have worked.
