Sensitivity returning from monitor off state
by Guest throwitout- 1 reply
- 142 views
The machine is running WinXP Pro. Currently the users can't be bothered to switch off the monitor when they are done with the machine, so it's configured to power off the monitor after 30 minutes. The problem is sometimes walking by the machine, or a truck driving by outside, will cause the monitor to switch on again. I'd like to set the machine up so that the only way to make it return from a monitor off state is to press a key on the keyboard, or less preferably increase the mouse sensitivity required. I've noticed the mouse isn't being moved very much because it will only switch on the screen, but it's not enough to deactivate the screensaver.

Okay, the best minds in computer science cannot tell me how to get rid the listing of a removed DVD drive which remains listed in the "E" position of "My Computer", which causes the working drives there now to perform erratically or not at all. At least I developed a problem that no one can solve. Yaah for me. So, I want to re-install Windows XP. The CD is being read by one of the drives and the installation begins but very quickly I get; "File Copy Error. An error occurred copying file; abcdefghijk123456789, ect.", it's different each time, so the actual file doesn't matter. Which makes sense, because the DVD drive is not being recognized by the sys…
