My computer does not wake up...
What's wrong?
What should be the energy options for it to work?

What are they now?

Try the settings that I had in the images. (not sure if the hybrid sleep is relevant - it is necessary for me to even sleep - an issue somewhere on my end...)

Well I never understood this sleep function as it isn't clearly defined as to exactly what it is as this differs from one OS to another. On my main system XP Pro desktop, Display Properties, Power settings, Power Schemes, there is no Sleep mentioned only Standby.

I have mine set to go into standby after 20 minutes, yet in another area, Advanced it mentions a Sleep button. I really do hate it when they give mixed terms/names etc.

However that said, if I have it in standby mode the Wake up feature does work and runs the scan.

Sleep is a power saving or low power consumption state commonly known as Stand-by.
In Hybrid Sleep mode, system saves any open documents and programs to memory and to your hard disk, and then puts your computer into a low-power state as in normal Sleep/Standby state. An advantage of hybrid sleep is that if a power failure occurs, Windows can restore your work from your hard disk.

Ok, try unchecking the two middle settings:

"Do not start the scan if running on batteries"
"Pause the scan if batteries mode begins"

I know that you are on power, but it worked for dagrev...maybe it will work for you.

Make no sense... The settings must do what they're written to do...
I'll try the non sense though...

I had to uncheck these for some reason on my laptop, though it is always plugged in (battery in or out at times).  Something seems a little off.

OK tried it and it failed in both tests in my netbook with win7 starter. That was with both the battery option enabled in the first test and disabled in the second. But again that may well be down to my settings in win7 as after sleep it is locked and I have to click the user name button to unlock it. At that point I'm presented with the scheduled scan pop-up which at that point hasn't started.

So I will have to see if I can find where to change the sleep settings so that it doesn't come out of sleep locked and run the tests again.

Mine wakes up locked as well and it works.
In my case, it woke up to a black screen. Move the mouse and it is locked, with the login screen. If I login during the scan, it seems that the GUI doesn't show the scan, then once it is completed, it shows up as being completed.

Are mine the only systems that it works on? ???
