Can anyone tell me how long I can leave my computer on while running the internet before it goes to sleep mode. I am at work and I am in the middle of downloading something but I need to go out the office for about half an hour, I dont want when I come back in to see a blank screen and the download being disconnected. Thanks
Go to your control panel and select Power Options. From there you can select a time you want an idle computer to go to standby. Select never and you won't have this problem.
Hope this helps.
