Can't wake computer from sleep! among other things

When my computer goes to sleep and I am supposed to be able to push the
power button to wake it up, it does nothing. I have tried everything I
can think of to wake my computer, but I have NO success. The only way
to get it to wake up is to hold the power button down till it turns
itself off and then reboot.

I also cannot install Windows updates When I click the update
button it trys to download but instead basically just sits there and
tells me it is trying to download, without ever actually doing anything.
I end up just having to stop it. I had not installed downloads for
quite awhile because when I first got my computer the updates kept
ruining my system and I'd have to do a restore, but I've been having so
many other problems with the computer I decided to try doing it again.
I hate Vista and am starting to hate PCs and swear on my life my next
computer will be an Apple

I have Vista basic. It also went into a "coma" mode. I turned my
computer off and then rebooted it.

Did you find a solution to it not waking from sleep mode?

And has this ever worked with your computer, or is this something recent?
If something recent, what's changed?

No solution yet. Its been doing this for awhile! I found a link on
Window's website that noted this problem as a hot topic and supposedly
provided the answer, but I had to run out the door and forgot to look
for it again till yesterday but now I can't find it anywhere!

I also experience the same problem with my laptop running Vista Home
Premium SP1. The second best thing is just to do a hibernate, if that
works for you.

If your Windows Vista stops responding when you resume the computer
from hibernation try the Hotfix from 'KB928135'
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928135).

Regarding your WU issue, visit 'Cannot Update Windows Vista '
(http://www.winvistaclub.com/t4.html)and also see if any of the links at
the bottom of the page help you.

I just tried that hotfix and it didn't work. Actually it made things
worse because now after rebooting, the start up is glitchy so I will be
restoring it back to before the install.
Vista is garbage! I just bought a new gaming computer to replace gaming
and other tasks on my older desktop. But guess what, it's my older
desktop with XP that I'm currently writing on because I can't even get
it to keep a decent internet connection.
