Change start menu power button in windows 7?

• I want to be able to put my computer to sleep from the start menu. The current action is log out and if I expand it I only have lock and disconnect available. I tried ctrl+alt+delete and the power button in the bottom right corner is there and has all the options available (sleep, hibernate, restart, shut down) but when I click sleep the only thing that happens is I return to my desktop. When I right click on the start menu power button and go to properties it has a drop down list for the action but it's grayed out, so I can't use it. I went to gpedit.msc and selected user config->start menu and taskbar->remove and prevent access to the shutdown, restart, sleep, hibernate commands and disabled it. I also set change start menu power button (in the same directory) to disabled. no change. What do I do here? I'm at the end of my knowledge and I want my computer to go to sleep so I can too. I just moved and my fans and led's are obnoxious at the moment. I used to have it set to sleep, I have no idea why it changed

• Answer:

  Did you make any changes in the BIOS or installed/uninstalled/changed any devices/drivers? Check the device manager to see if all devices work normally (right-click My Computer->Manage->Device manager) Also check out these links, might get you to the right direction.
