I have a new HP computer and when I got it last week, it wouldn't wake up. I
called HP support (I wish they could speak English!) and eventually they gave
me this link:

www.sleep-fix.notlong.com.

I put that in my browser and it executed something. Waking up sleep mode
worked better for nearly a week (only had to reboot after all night), but now
it fails every time again. Any more ideas?

Thanks
