takaharu_ Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'm with Ozzy. turn it off or do what I do - put it to sleep. That way it takes a few seconds to resume what you were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOhnson Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I'm with Ozzy. turn it off or do what I do - put it to sleep. That way it takes a few seconds to resume what you were doing.

JOhnson Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) what reason did he give you for not using sleep? his explanation which was brief and to the point as he ran pass me in the corridor was becareful when using standby / sleep as its not hibernate ? now im trying to pick the bones out of this answer and remember what tutors are like there alway busy when you want a proper explanation ... so next time I see him im going to give him tg007 link and tell him I can learn more from the members there than I can here (college) Forgot to mention I am using "Windows XP Pro" Edited June 4, 2009 by JOhnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOhnson Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 well if standby is "sleep" my machine slept like a baby this afternoon ... cause I tried it out and it worked ok ... just pressed the boot button as I call it and it came straight into windows XP Pro. So know at nite all I do is put the computer on standby and then I sleep like a baby myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
