    Somebody Anybody. I have a Z60m 2.0Ghz 1gig ram. When I start itunes within 10 seconds my laptop goes into sleep mode. When I try to view a movie with Win media player it goes into sleep mode in about 10 minutes. It's gotten to the point now where as if I'm not moving the mouse or typing it will go into sleep mode or power down altogether. I'm not using the screen saver. Hard drive and standby are set to never under power options. CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!!!! :(

    That's pretty ridiculous. This Vista? Try making sure you set ALL the power settings to high performance, and see if that makes a difference. Try creating a new account if that doesn't work, and see if the problem persists.

    Cheers! :D
