    Hi,
    I have an M73 toshiba and was wondering, how do I enable the delaying of the sleep/hibernate option when closing the lid of it. Before formatting the laptop, it was able to sustain a 10 minute delay of activeness before going into sleep WHILST having an active internet connection upon having physical contact with the buttons.
    Help much appreciated =)

    Assuming you are using Windows Vista, I am not sure. Not really familiar with Vista but the options would be initially the same.

    You need to go to "Screensaver" tab then click on "Monitor Power". Over here, you will see options like "turn off monitor", "turn off hard disks", "system standby". Along with these options, you should see "do what when close the lid" or something similar to that, plus the sleep/hibernate. For hibernate, its a cool option. Set your "power" button to hibernate (you won't lose any of the tasks you do". Temporary goes to sleep mode. Press it back, let it load, takes like 10 secs and VOILA. Your stuff intact.

    Hope that helps,
