Vista Ult. 64 Sleep Mode problem

I have Vista Ultimate-64bit and when I put it into sleep mode it will not wake up. I've heard that this is a problem with nVidia drivers. I have a GTX 260 and nForce chipset. Is there any files I need to look for in particular that might be causing this?

Sleep mode used to work just fine on my computer, but one day it just wouldn't boot after I pressed the power button to wake it up from sleep mode.

Have you tried just moving the mouse around? That is all I do to wake my machine up..

It doesn't matter what method I use to wake it up from sleep. The fans start spinning, the lights on my keyboard turn on (sometimes), my mouse turns on (sometimes), but nothing ever gets broadcast to my monitor. It just stays black for a few minutes, gives up and resets itself and tells me that the computer improperly shutdown, would I like to do a normal windows startup.

Sound problem with vista

I had the same problem, I found the following solution at http://www.noaudiooutput.com

Find the latest version of your driver, download it, uninstall your current driver and install the new one. After uninstalling the driver and reboot it to automatically reinstall it, the audio still may not work. Amazingly though, sometimes after putting the system in hibernate mode and coming back, the audio worked.

Hope it helps if it doesn't they have other suggestions.
