Pat, I've seen complaints that on some computers, when they go to sleep or hibernation, window eyes does stop working. that's not the case with my 2 laptops however.
in any case, you should be able to stop your netbook from going to sleep by using the control panel, power options, and finding the choices for what it should do after X number of minutes of inactivity, and disabling that. as I recall there are separate choices for when it's running off a/c and when off of battery. hth, Chip ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission [email protected] (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) > -----Original Message----- > From: Pat Ferguson [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 2:23 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Acer inspiration 1 netbook computer question > > Hi Walt, and Everyone, > > I agree with you.
