No desktop icons after putting pc in sleep mode in vista

Recommended Posts

Hi, I know this is more technical but it does have an impact on sf. I just put the vista 32 bit os pc to sleep for 20 minutes and when I went to start up by touching mouse, it only showed desktop background and no sf 2 icons or any other icons for that matter. I put it on slep again by clicking on keyboard and it came to normal. Before this, i did a factory install because the destop wouldn;t show and got black screen consistently. It wiped out my sf 2 and 1 installs. I dont know what to do now. i have to reintsall my sf2 and 1's but am afraid of this happenign again. Does anyone here know how to fix this sleep mode or what do you guys use in this case? I am not sue if hibernate works or power settings in vista need to be chgd. If so to what? This is killing my sf 2 and 1 experience.

If it isn't a laptop, why are you even putting it into sleep mode?

 

I can see if you want to save the monitor from burn-in, but the screen saver will do that.

 

As there is no battery to save, I never put my gaming rig in sleep mode. I went to the point

of changing power settings to never and never.

 

Windows and hibernate or sleep have been imperfect sciences since they debuted in Win95, IIRC...
