[QUOTE="lokerd, post: 10150"] Hello. Out of a lab full of computers, I have one machine that developed a sleeping problem such that I have to turn off the Energy Saving features completely. I just reformated the computer over the summer and very little has been installed in the way of inits...in fact, I have turned off any unnecessary stuff, like speech, desktop printing, etc. Then one day, the computer had to be unplugged to get it to come back up. Some thing happened when it went back to sleep again. At first, I played with the different settings, trying to come up with something. The only thing that work is to leave the screen on and the hard drive running and let the computer start up just before the first class and shut down right after the last class. So, IOW, I do still have the Energy Saver control panel running...but it only controls the start up and shut down. The local computer dealer said: "The sleep problem is software - you did the right thing by turning off the sleep in the energy saver control panel. That is the fix for the problem." Is there an underlying hardware issue? Is there something that can be fixed with the software? Did something get corrupted? Thanks for any feedback! Drew [/QUOTE]
