My computer seems to shut down after an extended time of non use, my monitor I believe goes into power save mode and turns off, and my computer for some reason seems to completely shut down, keyboard is dead...IM running Windows Xp 2002 version, AMD processor, 948 MHz, Monitor is a Sony Multiscan E200...any Ideals as to where I might go or do to make the adjustments in order that it doesnt shut down like this?..Im having to completely reboot my system each time this happens, this is why that Id like to reconfigure the system in order that this wont happen continually..thanks gang...=)

Take a look under Power Options in the control panel.

It shouldn't shut down completely from settings in the Power Options control panel. At most it should go into hibernate, which saves your computer's current state to the hard disk so everything is where you left it when you turn it on again. Is that what's happening, or is it shutting down completely?

Some machines < 1GHZ with 512 or less RAM will go into hibernation mode and won't come back out for one reason or another. Usually if a USB keyboard or mouse is used.

By the way, if your computer is failing to resume from hibernation, you can disable it completely (and save some hard drive space) in the same control panel.
