I run my own batch programs that do the caching of the text client. The
BIOS (dell's) does not have an option to disable power settings. The
only thing I have been able to come up with is it is somehow tied to Mom
installing/removing her games. This all started when she installed the
latest Myst, that's why I had her remove Myst and reinstall W98. That
worked, until today as I mentioned. When I asked her, she said she has
installed one other small game and removed a couple of others. It's
like there is some magic file out there that is being corrupted by her
game installs/removals.
