[QUOTE="Shoey Peachew, post: 236123, member: 21173"] I would have to check those settings. It's strange, because I didn't have this problem today. Basically, this is what happened: 1. Before, I set Windows to shut off my monitor after 10mins. Set Windows to Sleep at 15mins. Set PS to Standby at 15mins. The problem was when MP is closed and I'm using my desktop PS would put my pc to sleep for no apparent reason. Also, when I'm watching TV my monitor would shut off after 10mins. Apparently, Windows can't tell if I'm watching TV and automatically shuts down my monitor. I solved my monitor issue my never allowing it to shutdown in Windows, but came here for help with PS putting my opc to sleep. 2. Now, I've set my monitor to never shut off. Set Windows to sleep after 15mins. Set PS to "Stay on" and only allow standby when on home window . I think this works because when I'm at my desktop my pc doesn't sleep unless I've been inactive for 15mins and in MediaPortal it sleeps when I'm at my home window. Also, my monitor doesn't turn off when I watch TV. I'll see how it goes from here and if anything comes up I'll let you know. Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
