[Blind-Computing] hibernation
hi Mike, when I start my computer up in the morning everything starts up fine and then after a few minutes it shuts down and the tower stays on but there is nothing on the screen it is blankI am told by my sited person. so we unplug the tower and then start it up again and then it goes into safe mode sometimes or it will just start up normal again and everything works fine until the next time I start it up again. but when it does start in safe mode it just says from what I understand my sited person telling me to make sure things are plugged in correctly. and they are. so what ever is going wrong I am puzzeled. ---original message--- From: "Mike B." < mb69ma...@charter.net> To: < blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] hibernation Message-ID: < 8D1CBA3A74294B6B87EE491BD0B843E6@mikexp> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi Anna, I think you will need someone sighted to help you.

Open the Control Panel & find Power Options & press enter to open. 2. When power Options opens you will be on the first tab of the power schemes tab. Home / Office Desk should be selected here. 3. Tab 3 times to your monitor settings combobox, I have mine on 10 minutes just in case the monitor is turned on & someone forgets to turn it off, it will turn off after 10 minutes. Tab 1 time to the hard disks combobox, I have mine set on, never. Tab 1 time to the stand by combobox, I have mine set on, never. 4. Tab to the apply button & press the spacebar. Now control + tab 2 times to the, Hibernate tab. 5. You should be on the, Enable Hibernation checkbox, if this box is checked, uncheck it with the spacebar. 6. Tab to apply, press the spacebar, tab to okay , press the spacebar or enter to save your changes & close. The steps above are the way my computers are set-up & these are my preferences. I'm not saying that you should set your computer up this way, I'm just giving an example. I don't want the computer doing anything unless I give the commands to do so. Hope this helps. Take care.
