| 472696 | 2006-07-22 01:28:00 | Does anyone have a problem with winxp power saver options. Try as I may to make it do what I want it to do has me perplexed 'turn of monitor after 10 minutes' 'turn off main cpu hard drive etc after 1/2 hour.' Have turned off hibernation to never. And various other combinations to noavail even had a tech look at it when he was here for some other problem which was very minor He did a few options but when he left it was still unreliable. I have updated with microsoft auto and have downloaded every thing I can find on their nz website. Any Ideas team. It is not that important but I lkie to have everything working. lol regards |

| 472697 | 2006-07-22 01:35:00 | So, what exactly do u want to do?? Check the power settings in the BIOS. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 472698 | 2006-07-22 04:04:00 | I would have thought it was obvious. I just want the options to do what I asked it to do as I stated. Please kindly read the message again. If you are not sure as to what the question was here it is again put another way In the option in the control panel i choose power options and entered that the monitor turns after waiting 10 minutes then I asked that the hard drive turn off at 1/2 hour later. But always came back with a different setting not of my making or request. Mirosoft has admitted there is a problem and have put out an update of which I have downloaded and installed. No Change! Thought you guys may have an answer. But apparently not. Thanks for your time. I will search else where. Regards Brandysson. |
