Windows ME help needed

[SW FL Dem]

My older computer frequently goes into "sleep" mode and I can get it to wake up without re-booting. There has to be a way to keep it from going to sleep.

1. Amphetamines?

2. Power Management in the Control Panel

I would walk you through it but it has been 2 years since I've used ME

3. I have windows ME

and that is one of the many problems I have with it.

It's a complete piece of shit.

I need to upgrade to Windows XP, as soon as I scrape together the money for the upgrade software.

4. My ol' 98 does the same thing.

Its so bad I’ve named it Van Winkle.

5. Usually

You can right click on your desktop, click on "properties" click on "screen saver" and where you see the tab in the energy saving part, click on "settings". There you will see the settings for sleep mode and stuff. Set them all to never and see if that does it.

6. Here's how...

Click Start.
Under 'Settings' click 'Control Panel'.
Open "Power Options" under Control Panel.
There you'll find the grail. :)

8. If Windows power save settings don't work, check the BIOS power mgmt

ACPI...

ACPI should be enabled, but the hardware too has a standby setting. I always disable it...

G'luck with ME...
