    Hi, I just got my new E1505 on Monday and so far pretty much everything seems to be great and I'm really impressed by it. :)

    However I do have a question about MediaDirect, at the moment whenever I shut the laptop while MediaDirect is running it goes straight into hibernation mode. Is there anyway to set it so that it doesn't go into hibernation/standby so I can keep playing music while its shut?

    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    you can change that by going to display properties, screensaver, power settings, and go to the advanced tab. you should be able to change it there.

    I've already set that in Windows XP (and it works in that) but it still hibernates when I boot up to MediaDirect and shut the laptop. I can't see anywhere to set the same thing in MediaDirect.
