You can't use the Power Options control panel to disable the hard disk
spin-down?
True and we do have this set, the hard disks doesn't spin down, but
we've found the machines do funny things when they are in a red hot
environment. But you are correct, all power saving options should be
switched off Alex, including the Screen Saver. The reason we have a
loop running all the time was to help with the paging problem we found
in 4.1.1. - It was more a visual thing, once we saw the cursor
stuttering we would turn one of the laptops off and restart as this was
the only way we could find to cure the problem.
