Hi! I have been having this problem and for the likes of me cannot
figure it out. I put my computer into sleep mode every night before I
go to bed. Sometimes its 10 sometimes 11 sometimes 12. My problem is,
vista cannot stay put in sleep overnight. I wake up to find my computer
on. I have been tracking the event log, looking for a reason for it to
be waking up, but to no avail. I have noticed, however that it ALWAYS
wakes up at 2:00 a.m. on the dot everytime. I have changed the times
for defender, windows update, and have also tried disabling the network
adaptors before I put it into sleep. The only thing shown after the
event log is the volume shadow copy service, but this isnt until about
2:30 to 2:45....30 to 45 minutes after it wakes up. Any information
will be of help thanks! (I have also tried multiple video drivers.)

You should switch to Linux. Probably Mandriva.

If your BIOS has a wake on lan feature, try disabling it.

I can't tell you why, but if you go to the driver for the mouse and keyboard,
and disable "Allow this device to wake computer", your problem will probably
go away. I had the same issue, without touching the mouse or keyboard, but
the issue went away with this fix.

Thanks for all the input. there is no wake-on-lan feature in the bios,
and as for the mouse and keyboard, i disabled EVERYTHING i could find
in the device manager that had "allow this device to bring the computer
out of sleep." I know that finding solutions to these types of problems
are difficult, but hopefully after a few replies a spark will jump in
someones mind and I'll figure it out. Any more help would be
appreciated thanks so much!

(And for all you linux spammers out there, im running Fedora Core 6 on
my laptop, so dont flame me :) but if you have input on how to fix the
problem of it only giving me 13 minutes of battery time after its fully
charged let me know, cause right now I can only run it on AC or it shuts
off 2-3 mins after running on battery :)
