Hi Bob

I have had similar experience with my computer waking from sleep within seconds of being "put to sleep". I found that the main culprit with my machine were the USB devices hooked up to the computer, especially an over sensitive optical mouse.

Trying unplugging the mouse once you have set the sleep time to a short delay. If the computer stays asleep problem solved, other wise use a process of elimination, removing USB & firewire devices one at a time, until you find the culprit.

Good luck

Hello everyone,

Hope you are having a good weekend.! ?

I had never tried or used the Panther Sleep function , but needed it to work this weekend.

Seemed easy enough !  Look under the Apple and click on  " Sleep ".

It does cause a prompt shutdown .... screen and harddrives .. but
abour 10 seconds later we strat up again.

Tried checking under Activity Monitor ... nothing obvious to me !

Any Clues please

Bob.

And setting up the energy saver gets something similar, although
the screen does go through screen saver to off, and stays off &
Hard Drive shuts down sometimes !
