Guest Molly in AL Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Could someone please tell me how to turn off the hibernation mode on my computer? I don't want my computer "going to sleep." It interferes with my cordless mouse and keyboard. I use IE as a browser and my system is Windows XP. Thanks for any help! :)

Thanks for any help! :) Right-click on the desktop, choose Properties, and then Screen Saver. In the bottom section, there's an area for power management. Click on the button, and that will bring up the dialog that allows you to select these timings (and turn hibernation off). HTH -pk

Thanks for any help! :) It's disabling your mouse and keyboard because you are using XP. On Vista it doesn't. To come out of hibernation on XP you just press your power button on your PC lightly, about halfway. If you had Vista you just press the mouse button to bring it out of hibernation. Hibernation is great because you never have to turn off your PC completely to conserve power.
Guest Molly in AL Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Re: computer sleep mode Thanks for the help! I've done this before, but I couldn't remember exactly how. Figured it was better to ask for help.
