macbook 13" 2.0GHz running bootcamp 10.6 & Win7
Hi there

I'm running bootcamp with 10.6 & Windows 7. I've installed all the drivers and all's well except my MacBook ignores the Sleep settings I've put into Win7. It bascially just stays with desktop, no screen or cpu sleep.
I can put manually to Sleep it's just the auto settings it ignores.

Any help out there? :)

You won't get screen dim prior to sleep (that's OS X only) but you should get automatic sleep according to what it has been timed for.

Mine goes to sleep as per I have it set for - and I'm using an external monitor and keyboard - mouse.

Make sure there is nothing running in the background. Open your system configuration editor (click on "system configuration") and see what's running upon startup of Windows 7. There may be something (program or process) that's preventing the auto sleep feature.

Regards.
