616580 2007-11-29 19:52:00 I have a laptop which had the power saving features activated. The hard drive would power down first when it was on battery only. However, I cannot find a way to get it going again, short of removing the battery and rebooting. Doing this has twice caused a database program running at the time to become corrupted since it was not closed down normally.

I have since turned off this feature but would like to know how the laptop can be powered up again. I have tried mouse clicking, touchpad clicking and all the usual keypad keys but nothing seemed to work. Any ideas?

616583 2007-11-29 21:59:00 Is it up to date with SP2 and the rest of the updates? Speedy Gonzales (78)
616584 2007-11-29 22:05:00 I'll check about SP2 when I get home but other updates are installed as they are available.

It is less than 2 years old so would it have had SP2 installed already when I bought it?
