There are also some settings in the control panel of windows 7 under power I think, advanced options that will let you change the wireless adaptor settings. Not sure if these are just another way to control the power management of the device through the control panel but it may be worth checking. Let me know if you need more presise instructions on how to find them.

I found the type of the adapter, there is something checked to allow the computer to turn off to save power, is this what you were talking about? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shane Hecker" <shanehec...@gmail.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 12:40 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Wireless Adapter I wonder if your laptop is trying to conserve battery power by turning off the wireless adapter after it's been idle for a while. Might look under device manager, find your wireless adapter, bring up the context menu, go to properties. Under one of those tabs should be something similar to allow power management of this device. Try unchecking that and see what happens.
