d820 doesn't resume from sleep when i open the lid

i installed vista on my d820 this week and to install the quickset program from dell, i needed to upgrade my bios from a01 to a05. i have my laptop set to go to sleep when i close the lid. under XP it woke up fine when i opened the lid, but after upgrading to vista and the newer bios, it doesn't wake up. i have to press the power button to wake it up.
 
don't know if this is a bios setting or something with vista - shouldn't have been so hastey and installed them both on the same day! oh well.
 
anyone else having this issue or know of a resultion?
 
thanks
matt

    It's normal to wake up the computer with the power button. Nothing wrong there. All current notebooks require that now. You should have updated bios before installing Vista.

    In Vista you have a feature known as hybrid sleep coz of which you would have to press the power button to resume from  sleep or hibernate.
     
    Hybrid is a combination of sleep and hibernate power modes

    i didn't know about the bios upgrade before the quickset installer prompted me for it. and the behavior is different that what i had under XP. not a big deal.
     
    thanks for the replies
