Re: Sleep mode?
Shaz...I'm running Windows 7 so I am not sure if your machine will be the same....but you might want to try this.
Go into Control panel. Choose power Options and go into this. There should be something which allows you to change the 'sleep' pattern of your computer. Hope this info is helpful to you.

Now Micheal......it is not good to incur the wrath of Flashy...especially when she needs help with her techno things. Do so at your peril
