Vista will be working fine and go into sleep mode no problem, it also apears to come out of sleep mode with no problem, except that the mouse and key board respond at about one keystroke or mouse "jump" every 3 seconds.

If I take the time to actually type in my password, it logs into the desktop at normal speed.

Has anyone seen this and solved it before?

Thanks!!!

Does it happen when the computer is in soft-sleep, or only after it has also hibernated
to disk?

If it happen in a soft sleep, yes, you should expect better performance
within 20 seconds of waking up. Try SP1.

Otherwise, if it may have cleared RAM and hibernated...

It could just be slow due to the system being busy loading all the data from
disk into memory, not having the key data all paged in to memory, etc.
Try waiting about 60 seconds after you wake up before you try the keyboard
and mouse to login.

Also try typing and moving the mouse in the login window then wait 60 seconds before
you actually type / mouse the password.

If it speeds up considerably after either of those delays, the problem may be somewhat
insoluble since it's likely just the disk / memory paging and system load of the restoration
that's the problem.

If it's STILL slow, it sounds like a bug and maybe SP1 will help.

Having 4G or more of READYBOOST storage enabled should help, as should having
more physical RAM. Defrag your hard disk including the page file and hibernate file
if possible.
