So I was wondering if anyone can help me solve this puzzle. I have a
demension 4600 running windows media center edition. If I turn my
computer on from hibernate and I do not touch the computer (keyboard or
mouse) for 10 mins, it will automatically turn off. However, If it
touch the mouse or keyboard, it will stay on. I would like to make it
so that it does not automatically turn off if I turn it on and then am
away for a few mins. What can I do to disable to the auto shutdown
feature?

Thanks
 
thanks, but then what? This is the place I went to enable hibernate.
But I do not see any options to disable autoshutdown. I am running
windows media center edition on a desktop computer. Thanks.
 
the power down is likely due
to inactivity. should be a
option to change them from 10 minutes
to none in power mgmt as suggested..
 
Under General Tab, set everything to Never.

i tried all of these things and it still would shut down after
10-15mins of inactivity. I just adjusted a setting under
administrative tools (local security policy -> security -> local
policies -> security options -> Microsoft Network Server: Amount of
idle time before suspending session). I will see if this does the
trick.

I have looked through all settings in Power Management and I have
nothing that allows me to adjust auto shutdown after specified
inactivity (like I do on my laptop running windows xp). I am thinking
this has to be something with hibernate on WMCE.

Thanks again...

Have you checked your BIOS settings for Power Management. There are
settings there too.
