Guest flower8 Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 I have been using this Toshiba Satellite laptop for about 3 years now and have never had a problem with it remaining on. This morning I had to reformat the hard disk and now it is going into some kind of a standby mode when it didn't before. I tried to chance the power options properties but they are all greyed out. I cannot figure out what to do. There is no problem with the battery and the computer is plugged into the wall outlet. Any help would be appreciated.
Guest Andrew E. Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 RE: Power Options Properties greyed out - how can I change settings? Try opening event viewer for specific info to power options,you'll probably see an event/warning for this..

After re-installing Windows XP, there is always the off-chance that some proprietary drivers or utilities will need to be re-installed. Check the laptop's manual for this requirement amongst its power-savings options. If so, locate the utilities or drivers cdrom and install.
