How to prevent PC from going to standby ever?

[Guest Kovis]

I have a pretty recent HP laptop and have deactivated all power saving

settings in the control panel. However, if no one has logged on to

Windows, after some time the laptop still goes to standby. If a user

has been logged on, standby never occurs.

 

How to prevent this from happening? BIOS doesn't seem to contain any

settings related to this.

Take a look at the Turn Off the Logon Screen Saver section of this article.

Control Panel>Power Options>Power Schemes. In the System standby box choose

never.

Thanks Nepatsfan,

 

That was a good tip. I will give it a try.

Kind of weird to say the least. XP power saving is hit or miss.
