Had a problem with my Vista Home Premium. Would not wake up from sleep. Updated video driver directly from the manufacturers site(NVIDIA). After the mandatory restart all the desktop icons were in the top left corner. Blamed the update and put them back where they should be. No problem.
System now wakes up correctly.
This morning when I turned on they were back in the top left corner again.
It is big deal, just irritating.
Any ideas welcome.

Cheers
Colin

Updating the graphics drivers was a good idea though. Do you find it very slow? Do you get any errors on startup/shutdown that you're aware of?

Diagnosis of the problem suggested the update
Since updating it has been working fine.
It starts quickly and there are no known issues with either startup or shut down.

Cheers

I do not see a useful purpose for sleep/hibernation at all.
