Changing standby mode

I am relatively new to Windows XP Professional, which I have at home. When I
leave the computer, the screen goes dark after about five minutes and appears
to go into a standby mode after about 10 minutes. The problem I have is that
when I'm transfering a video that I have on my computer to VHS which takes
about 30 minutes, the computer goes into this standby mode and stops the
transfer. How can I change those settings. I've gone into Power Options and
changed those settings to 45 minutes, but it doesn't seem to make any
difference. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi,

Check power management options in the system BIOS.
