Welcome to SF Steve from AU,
Can you give us some spec's on your system. I for one don't like the sleep mode in any way shape or form. Do you know the screen saver and sleep mode settings you have in place? You're running Windows 7 32bit and where does the XP fit into the mix? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number A blend of brains, brawn and dumb luck, ask me about rig #2 !

Welcome to SF!
This shouldn't make any difference, but...
What key are you hitting?
Try the <space> bar, or <cursor> key, rather than the <return> key, for example...
What are your BIOS wake-up settings?
What are your Windows 7 wake-up settings?
These are all easily over-looked 'small' things that can make a difference in the way your computer responds. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number OEM - Me

hi and thank you
Hi im running windows 7 premium 32 Bit 2 GB RAM with and E6300 processor i have the bubble screensaver and i dont use the sleep mode and no there is no xp on here ok.
i hit the space bar.
say i go to bed then the screensaver comes on for 15 minutes after thecomputer is idle for 10 minutes
As I never turn pc off it only reboots when i need it to for updates
then the then the display turns off after 15 mins they are my power options and have it set that the computer never sleeps im like you i dont like sleep mode.
as I said i dont have sleep mode on
so there is no need to check wake up settings
All I do is hit space bar and after desktop comeback on comes even though it is not sleep mode the start menu is open very strange
thank you hope that helps | | My System Specs | | |

Try, right click on Start Orb \ Left or right click on properties \ Click on "Use default properties" \ Click OK
You might have a setting there that's causing this. Slowly add items back to rebuild your Start menu customizations, if it starts acting up again, you'll know the culprit. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
