    I have a little problem. Whenever I am not using my computer, it goes into stand-by mode. When in stand-by mode, my internet turns on to stand-by mode also, so when I am downloading things, I can't let my PC idle for a half hour.
    So anyways, I was wondering, is there any way to make my PC not go into stand-by mode?
    Thanks in advance :D

    Go to the Control Panel, and then to "power options"

    Make sure that all the options there say "never".
    That should do the trick :)

    WOW. I didnt know that, it is a western digital model IDE on an Intel 845GV mobo, spinning at 7200 rpm...ive seen faster. It could be my new sstuff like my 768 MB ram...

  16. wolfram TechSpot Paladin

    Well, a 7200RPM drive should be fast, especially if it has a 8MB cache.
    Also, good RAM amount should help a lot :)
