Hello Avi, I have now added the code that you sent me, but the problem is that we use mingw and they do not have definitions for SetThreadExecutionState or the EXECUTIO_STATE variable. I did a quick look up on MSN but didn't find what I need, could you send me some information on how those are defined -- we do not directly use windows.h because it is "proprietary".
