ahh unfortunately "hybrid" didn't work for me...
and johnathan:
this is what i got, standby <S1> the system firmware does not support this standby state
standby <S2> the system firmware does not support this standby state


so i'm guessing that's why the computer keeps turning off bcause it doesn't have sleep mode...?? then why does the computer have options to go into sleep mode?!
and in that case what should i do? i tried hybrid that didn't work either....i just want the computer to "sleep" without shutting it off...how can i do that now?

theog: i read that but i couldn't find the hotfix request page, everytime i went on that page it said it had been modified...

and tim: could you tell me which options you have selected for under "edit plan settings" and "change advanced power settings"?? thanks!!

Here is a screen shot of how to turn hybrid sleep on once you are in the 'advanced power settings'. Make sure that you edit all the power plans that you use, or it will work sometimes but not others.

EDIT: Also, as J. King said make sure that S3 sleep is enabled in the BIOS, or this won't work.

thanks tim, but i'm not sure how to enable S3 in BIOS...how do i get into BIOS??

thanks for the quick reply tim but ive pressed del on windows startup and it led me to this menu with starting the computer normally or safe mode basically just telling me to do a system restore or system repair....i have no idea what BIOS is or how to get there...i'm very new at this ahh do u think if i do an update on BIOS it would fix it? that's my last hope then i give up...

how do you get a BIOS update? i went on the hp support site , it said that theres no update for my laptop because originally my laptop came with vista when i purchased it...sorry for the trouble i'm a noob
