Power Manager v3.05 (the Win7 update) no longer lets w500 go into sleep

Before installing Power Manager (PM) v3.05 which is the approved Win7 version, I had no problem with my profiles automatically putting my w500 to sleep. However now that its installed, the w500 won't go to sleep automatically... I have to manually do this (by closing the lid or using the START menu). I've checked the power profiles, even created my own and ensured it's picked (even check that Win7 recognizes it from it's power management/profile page).

 

Any ideas? Quite annoying as it also is blocking the screensaver from kicking in (and thus, the auto-lock feature).

Re: Power Manager v3.05 (the Win7 update) no longer lets w500 go into sleep

hello!

i have the same version of the power manager (v3.05) and power management driver 1.55 installed on win7 prof 64 bit.

 

i have no problems with my machine going to sleep mode automatically. it will do this after several minutes, but only if the performance is not set to maximum!
