[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1137619, member: 141969"] My laptop does this when powered from the battery -- it sleeps after 15 minutes of inactivity, and then hibernates after 30 minutes of inactivity. But these are settings that you can alter in the power plan. Click: Start > Control Panel > Power Options > > Change plan settings (for the plan that is active) > > Change advanced power settings > expand "Sleep" tree The setting "Sleep after" controls the sleep timeout, and "Hibernate after" controls the hibernation timeout. Set the sleep timeout to the value that you want, and set the hibernation timeout to zero (Windows interprets zero to mean "never"). Then save these changes. Most PCs cannot wake from hibernation using a remote control; you need either a special motherboard (some Intel motherboards intended for HTPC use can do this), or special additonal hardware (such as the Simrec device), or the convoluted scheme that I use involving an ethernet hub. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
