Right-click the desktop, and select "Properties."
Click the "Screen Saver" tab, and click the "Power" button near the bottom of the dialog box.
Change the option next to "System Standby" to "Never" for either "Plugged in" or "Running on batteries" or both if that is what you want. Click "Apply," "OK" and "OK" once again to close the Display Properties dialog box.
Click the "Start" menu button, and then click "Control Panel."
Click "System and Maintenance," and then select "Power Options."
Select "High Performance" to disable sleep mode for the computer. The monitor will still go into sleep mode unless you click "Change Plan Settings" and disable all sleep options.
Click "Start," and then select "Control Panel."
Double-click "Power Options."
Select "High Performance" under "Additional Plans," and then click "Change Plan Settings." Change all of the options to say "Never."
Turn off the computer, then hit the power button to
turn it
back on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you
see SAFE
MODE. Take the Safe Mode With Networking option (this will give you
internet connectivity so you can view the manual later) and let it boot
up. Safe Mode will look
different to you, the screen will be darker and the icons bigger, this
is
normal. Check your Power Options in the Control Panel to set your Sleep
Mode and Hibernation up higher or set it to NEVER. Click Start/Control
Panel and look for Power Option (it might be under System and
Performance).
Below
is a link to your user manual. You want to go to Pages 77 and 78 where
it talks about changing the Power Plan. You want to select Change
Advanced Settings as it talks about on pages 78 and you will be allowed
to change the hibernate and sleep settings.
