I mean: If after going through all this you still have problems, do a safe boot (reboot and hold down the shift key). Put it to sleep again and see if the problem is still there. If it _isn't_, there might be something loading in at startup that is causing the problem - check your startup items (System Preferences/accounts/startup items). Again, eliminate items that Apple didn't place there one at a time and reboot. (Or you could open the Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder and force things to quit (if you know what you are doing) and see if the behavior continues. jg
