I recently installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my home PC, which previously had Windows Vista Home Premium installed. Upon installing Windows Vista Ultimate, I have had a problem of the PC taking a terribly long time to wake up from sleep mode. It literally takes 5-7 minutes. When I’m done using the computer, I’ll press the “SLEEP” button on my keyboard, which will put the computer right to sleep/power saving mode. Upon returning to the computer, I can press a mouse button or any button on the keyboard to wake the computer up. When it wakes up, I am almost immediately presented with the logon/password screen, and after entering my password, the desktop will display, but is unusable for about 5-7 minutes. When I was running Windows Vista Home Premium, the desktop would be immediately useable with no lag time at all.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any solutions or workarounds? Probably should just keep using my Mac, right?
