How to stop netbook going into sleep mode when in moving map mode and not using

Hi, This is how you do it with XP home & XP Pro, not sure of Vista , I have done it but cant remember the exact names, most are the same but may be called something else,

Start / Contol Panel / Display / Screensaver / Power / then set " Turn off Monitor" to " Never" , Then "Apply" / Ok / Ok.

Cheers Des.

Hi GN, Just one more move, make sure you have NEVER in the bottom window ie System Hibernate
Colin

do it like this

Control Panel/Power options
Set it as laptop and set ALL the L/H column to NEVER and you wont have any probs.


As long as you have it plugged in of course

Thanks you all for help, i will try the ideas tomorrow.
Many thanks GN

I had a good laugh at myself last week. I was watching a cycle training program, all set up, computer, check,...... fan, check, .........facing the right direction, check, spinning on my training bike in the garage. This is great. Ok, 2 min fast and easy 1 min and so on .......................following the prompts....................................2 mins fast.................... phew isn't this 2 min up yet.........looking at the screen (blank mind you).........................wondering?.............time?................can't keep this pace up much longer...............






aahhhhhhhh, power saver....................... derrrrrrr................. off the bike and flick the mouse.................

saved by the missus for the rest of program, Honey can you come here for a sec? Just flick the mouse a bit. " Where to?" Ahhh... just anywhere

i use my netbook for moving maps etc, and find it also handy if you select it never to sleep, even when you close the lid.
