Solution to 'Windows won't sleep' issue?

[imacken]

Windows 7 won't sleep when I use Chameleon to boot from the 'System Reserved' partition. (Just keeps going back to the login screen.)
It sleeps perfectly OK if I ignore Chameleon and boot from the drive that Windows is installed on.
I thought that the later Chameleon versions were supposed to fix this, but it's not working for me.
Anyone sorted this out yet?

S3 I can't help you with but try this for Hibernate.
If you don't want it, please test it for me once and let me know if it works.

Create a new shortcut (right click empty space, click new, click shortcut)

Put this on the target line
C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState

And name it Hibernate. You can pin it to the top of the start menu for example. This should allow you to at least enter S4 sleep - I still can't get S3 to work on the system that has sleep problems - with or without Chameleon booting it!

EDIT

I have since fixed my own Windows sleep issues by making the Windows HDD the default boot HD and not using Chameleon to boot Windows. S3, S4 and hybrid sleep now works perfectly. Apparently Windows 7 refuses to hibernate if it's not on the first drive/boot drive in the BIOS.

Thanks, but it didn't work.  Same as hitting sleep button, i.e. black screen (good) then back to login screen (bad).

Any further ideas?

Reinstall chameleon using fdisk440 then make Windows 7 partition as 'Active'.
This version of fdisk writes first 440 bytes on MBR, working even Windows 7 partition has marked as 'Active'.

If don´t works, try to:

Control panel-->Power options-->change when computer sleep--> advanced power settings and set the following options
+Sleep
Allow hybrid Sleep > Turn off
Allow wake timers > turn on/turn off try both settings

+USB
USB selective suspend > Turn on

Luck.
Regards.

Well, amazing - it worked! Thanks a lot.
'Allow hybrid sleep' turned off did the trick.
I'm sure I tried these things before, but.....
Thanks again.
