-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Vista Business Goes to Sleep after a few hours

The fix is in the Power Options area of Control Panel.  I'm not running 
Vista just yet and I don't have access to my VM's, so you'll have to hunt 
around a bit for the actual control.  You're looking to uncheck anything 
related to Hibernation and other sleep modes.  You should also review the 
options for how you want your system treated.  I set mine to "Always On". 
The result is that the system will power down my monitor and hard drive if 
it doesn't detect activity after a certain persiod of time, but a simple 
movement of the mouse brings them right back up.

Peace,
Gman
