Problem with sleep & hibernate

Why is programming a computer so that sleep and hibernate works like
they should so difficult. Every time my Vista Home Premium system
takes a long nap it refuses to wake up. Had the same problems with
other MS operating systems.

Surely by now MS could have fixed this problem.

Hi,

The problem stems from the hardware driver files, of which there are
hundreds. If even one of them does not support the sleep function correctly,
the it won't work. Microsoft supplies a large number of these in the
operating system, but many are also supplied by hardware manufacturers and
they all need to work together for this function to be successful.
