reprogramming sleep button

[Drew Carter]

Is it possible to program the sleep button to do functions besides:
"Hybernate" "Sleep" "Shutdown" or "Ask me what to do"?

I would like for it to enable a screen saver. Thanks.

Hi Drew,

Only if your keyboard driver allows for remapping it (Control Panel/Keyboard
applet). Otherwise, no.

Hi,

Locate the WindowsUpdate.log file under \Windows or \Winnt. Open it and
scroll to the bottom. Look at the error codes and compare them against this
site or post back here with them:

Hi,

Nothing, that was a mispost that I later cancelled. Evidentally it
propogated to the server you use, or you downloaded it before the cancel
took affect. It was a response to another user, but I accidentally grabbed
the wrong post when creating the response. Noticed the error too late.
