Yes, I know things are different depending on whether you have XP, Vista or Windows 7. However, the solution for this is going to the power options in the control panel. You can select your settings for when the laptop sleeps. You can do this for battery and external power.

It was going to take about an hour. I just left the lap top alone with nothing happening, but when I went back to check the progress, it had gone to sleep. I had to restart it. I have a Toshiba and was wondering if there is any way I can stop it from going to sleep when I am doing nothing. Now, I let some music play while I am trying to perform this task. Any suggestions?
