My Sony Vaio SR5K has power management problems under Win2K Pro as well. If I shut it down with the shutdown menu, about half the time it will not start back up when the power switch is toggled. Sometimes the "hold the power switch for four seconds" kills whatever state it is in, sometimes I have to remove the battery to get it to a place it will boot from. It's like shutdown doesn't actually shut down, but goes to some kind of hibernate that's broken. -crl -- Chad R.
