Hi Dale! Disable all "power saving" options.
Look for check boxes saying something like "turn off this device when not in use to save energy". That "feature" is useful for laptops not connected to anything and running on battery power for long periods, but for a desktop PC that feature is nothing but trouble. For how to information on Windows-7 Power Management just Google "windows 7 power saving settings". 73 Lloyd - N9LB -----Original Message----- From: FlexRadio [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz]On Behalf Of w...@reagan.com Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2015 10:14 AM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] setting up computer for longer run time Iam running a 1500 on a NEW I-5 computer using windows 7 -64 bit. If I walk away from the screen for 10 minutes the screen goes to sleep and goes dark. When I giggle the mouse sometimes the screen and power sdr comes back up ,but most of the time power sdr will come back but not operating. Looks just as though you never hit the start button. Trying the start button ,does nothing. If I want to get back to the running 1500 on the screen,usually need to reboot,then all is well. This is the first time I have used windows 7, used both the 5000 and the 1500 on XP. without this problem. I haven't got a book on windows 7 yet. guess I need one. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted. 73 dale wt4t _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz To opt out of the Reflector: http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz To opt out of the Reflector: http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz
