AIM/computer?


Question Posted Thursday July 5 2007, 6:01 pm

I have a laptop and whenever I just walk away from my computer leaving up and away message after me being idle for 20 minutes it signs me off and my computer goes into stand by mode. Is there anyway I can change these settings so that it doesn't go into stand by mode and I'll still stay online? Thanks tons.

hey

yeah, go to control panel - performance & maintenance - power options.

you see-
turn off monitor
turn off hard disks

sytem standby

next to system standby, select "never" for plugged in & running on batteries. and that should fix it.

i hope you understood what i said? if not, in the feedback tell me what else you need help with :]
