I also have Auto-hide the taskbar unchecked, and still have the freeze when trying to wake from sleep mode. I’m having to hard power down my machine every couple of days! And my company is considering going to Windows 7 for everyone as soon as possible???

I have this problem constantly (Win 7 x64 Build 7600 freezing up after waking from either Sleep, Hybrid Sleep, or Hibernate), and my task bar “autohide” has never been checked…so that is unlikely to be related.

Doesn’t work for me. 2 PC’s where sleep/hibernation worked fine under Vista will no longer wake up now that Windows 7 is installed. I would recommend holding off on Windows 7 until the first Service pack.

I have this problem, its a combination of the computer screen turning off and the auto hide of the taskbar. If they are both checked you’re pc will freeze shortly after you move the mouse to take the screen out of sleep mode. You can use one or the other, but with them both checked, this problem occurs.
