I installed sp1 on vista recently....

I now have a problem which is that when my laptop goes to sleep
I can only have it wake up by restarting by holding the power button down.

It never did this before.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like it is hibernating rather than sleeping.

Odds are you have a driver that is incompatible with SP1. Update any older
drivers to the latest and update the BIOS if a newer one is available.
While in the BIOS make sure the power options are set properly for what you
want to do. Did your machine go to sleep first with a switch to hibernation
after a period of time before? or stay in sleep. You should check your
power settings and make sure none of them got reset.

I wont touch the bios....

I tried that once a long time ago, and it destroyed my motherboard because
something went wrong!

but I will check with drivers...

I have seen them, on the sony site, I only updated the sound card driver
because that was the only one I was sure that wasn't compatible with sp1
.....

I force installed SP1 by downloading the whole sp1 package, but this was
something sony advised on the very page I found the drivers.....

If you won't update the BIOS, at least check to see if there is a newer one,
especially if it is shortly after SP1 was released. If so, check the change
log to see if any changes were related to power related issues.
