If you’ve found that your Sleep mode menu is dimmed out in Windows Vista, it’s most likely because Media Center disabled the option when it feels that media is being shared. This is an easy setting to fix, but it’s a little tough to locate without some assistance.

如果发现Windows Vista中的“睡眠模式”菜单变暗，则最有可能是因为Media Center在感觉到正在共享媒体时禁用了该选项。 这是一个易于修复的设置，但是在没有任何帮助的情况下很难定位。

First, you’ll need to open Control Panel. To make things easier, type in “power” into the search box, and then click on “Power Options”.  (for command line hackers, you can just type powercfg.cpl,1 in an admin mode command prompt and get right to the good stuff)

首先，您需要打开控制面板。 为了简化操作，在搜索框中输入“电源”，然后单击“电源选项”。 (对于命令行黑客，您只需在管理员模式命令提示符下键入powercfg.cpl，1即可使用这些好东西)

In the resulting screen, click the “Change plan settings” link underneath the currently selected plan.

在出现的屏幕中，单击当前所选计划下方的“更改计划设置”链接。

In this screen, click “Change advanced power settings”.

在此屏幕中，单击“更改高级电源设置”。

Now you’ll need to browse down to Multimedia settings \ When sharing media.

现在，您需要向下浏览至“多媒体设置” \“共享媒体时”。

Change both of the options to “Allow the computer to sleep”. The menu item for Sleep should be back to normal.

将两个选项都更改为“允许计算机进入睡眠状态”。 “睡眠”菜单项应恢复正常。
