I have a new little computer that I bought- it is an EMachines and it uses Windows Vista as its operating system. Here is my problem; Somehow it is set to shut down to the lowest power setting every time I have been away from the keyboard for about five minutes. Every single time I leave the room, it shuts down to this quasi-shut down setting and I have to restart my instant messenger, etc...I have a 17 month old daughter, so needless to say I am up and down a lot! So, can anyone possibly tell me how/where to change that setting so that it has to be idle for much longer before doing this? Thanks so much, it is really irritating.

i think your solution is in control panel, and then power options. this will let you set how long it takes for your moniter to dim, and also how long it takes for it to sleep.
