Hi Don, I don't remember all the details about specific manufacturers, but what I've seen is that Sleep mode can cause problems with certain device drivers. Not coming back to life after returning from Sleep. Instead of Sleep mode, try Hibernation, which switches power off completely, and see if performance is stable after returning from hibernation.
Hth, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Donald L. Roberts via Talk Sent: May 7, 2016 10:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Problem exiting sleep mode I am running Window-eyes 9.4 on an HP desktop whose operating system is Windows 10. The problem I am about to describe is not screen reader specific, but I am hopeful that some list member may know of a solution. After this machine has been put into sleep mode, it is difficult to get it to come out. I usually press the escape key to wake it up, after which Eloquence utters several unintelligible syllables. Now comes the tricky part. I tab slowly and hear things such as "ease of access," "shut down," and ultimately "unlock." However, if I tab too rapidly or too slowly, the system locks up requiring a hard reset. On at least two and possibly three occasions, the machine would not reboot; and, since I had no speech, I got sighted help and ultimately resorted to a system restore to an earlier date. I vaguely remember seeing a post, possibly on this list, that this problem is peculiar to some HP computers. So if there is either a fix or a reliable work around, please provide the specifics. Thanks in advance.
