Is there a way to prevent your computer from entering sleep mode? My last
computer didn't have a sleep mode, but the one I bought a few months ago
does. My computer is by E-Machines, and is Windows XP Home Edition. I have
a cordless keyboard and mouse by Micro Innovations. Whenever the computer
enters sleep mode, my mouse "locks up" and won't bring the computer out of
sleep mode. Hitting "enter" on the keyboard does not work either. I have no
alternative but to cut the power to the computer and then turn it on again
later. This is annoying since I use my computer throughout the day, but it
might be a couple of hours between uses, so it enters sleep mode, locks up,
etc. I would rather my computer just sit here with the screensaver running
and be able to come in and use it whenever. Any help/advice would be greatly
appreciated.
