? for the computer savvy out there.
    #7265291 -

Just got a new laptop, but i'm retarded with computers...Here's the problem, When I leave this thing on to download large files, couple hours or more, it automatically shuts itself off unless I hit a key every so often. Not all the way off but enough where the programs shut down and I have to log back into windows. It is operating vista home basic if that makes a difference. How do I stop this?

Well i have windows XP and it's just your power settings. So you go to START>CONTROL PANEL>POWER OPTIONS and then set System Standby to never or however long you need.

Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time

What he said. beat me to it.
Change the power saver settings. It's usually where you tweak the screen saver.
Right click on desktop, go to properties, then screen saver. At the bottom of screen you should see something like "monitor power"
Thats in XP....Vista is a load of unstable crap.:shocked:
