i know how to keep the system from sleepin,
go to control panel>power options>and deselect which devices you dont ever want turned off (i think windows has a couple selected by default)

:lol: dont think i read enough of your post :lol:
but hey, check it out any way, cause i think there is some default selections :P

errr....i think i should have thought of that, bbut i aint surre cause its only 5:30 am here and ive only had 1 cup of coffee so far :lol: :lol: :lol:

anyway thanks for the help it made me look there :lol:

[fkdup74]

hah hah made you look! :lol: (j/k) :D
that was just the 1st thing that came to mind cause i'd leave my comp on to, like, take a shower, get some grub, whatever, and i'd come back to that feckin blank screen (stand by mode) and sometimes i had k++ runnin with someone uploading from me, so it cut them off, and thats kinda rude
(and like i said, only had 1 cup o joe so far :lol: )

To change your monitors power saving settings, you need to choose Screensaver in Display Properties, there you'll find an option at the bottom that says monitor power. The default is to switch off after 20 minutes of inactivity.
