i just got a dell inspiron and i need help with somethingg..
after like 20 minutes, my laptop has a blank screen and then it'll log me off of AIM and then i'll have to press the power button on my laptop for me to use it..
i know that was confusing lol, but is there a way that my laptop can stay fully on, even if i'mnot using it at that moment?
thank you! :)
If you're using Windows XP, you should change all the options except "turn off monitor" to "never".
If you're using Windows Vista, click "change plan settings" under the plan that is currently selected. Change all options except "turn off monitor" to "never".
Using a laptop with these settings will severely drain the battery. There's no way to always be logged in and not drain the battery. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
