| 129245 | 2003-03-18 10:44:00 | Toshiba Laptop, Windows XP Pro, How can I stop the computer from going to sleep, I want the machine to monitor for email overnight and during the day on my jetstream connection without me having to hit any keys every now and again to keep the machine awake, any ideas, pls help. Thank you, | todd (3402) | ||

| 129247 | 2003-03-18 11:01:00 | Thanks Lo, with the Toshiba they overide the screensaver power options with a Toshiba program which I have already set to stay on, but it still switches off after a while ? | todd (3402) | ||
| 129248 | 2003-03-18 11:03:00 | How about disabling the Toshiba program then? That way, it could stay on all the time? Lo. |

| 129249 | 2003-03-18 11:04:00 | Go into the control panel and select Power Options. From hear choose the always on power scheme and adjust the settings how you want them. might pay to leave the monitor setting alone to prevent burn in. Next, right click on your my computer icon from the desktop and choose "Manage". When the Computer Management console opens. Click on device manager and then look for your Broadband modem or network card (you didn't mention how it was connected?). double click on the device and then choose the power management tab. Make sure the tick is removed from the check box for "Allow the computer to turn this device off to save power." Thats should pretty much do it. Cheers, Ecko P.S sometimes Toshiba install their own power management control panel applet, pretty much the same idea as the standard windows one though. |
