Best bet is to disable the standby mode, I've been there and you're right I've never had jaws work right afterward, go to your start menu, then settings, enter on control panel, in there you'll see something like power management I think it is in windows 98, my win98 machine is off sorry but I think that's what it is, it's close either way, enter on that and tab around. It will have something in there that says "Stand by after then a number" just down arrow to never tab once and there's another stand by and another number of minutes, again, down arrow to never, you can do this with the turn off monitor and turn off hard disks too if you want, I've had trouble with them off and on over the years as well depending on the machine. then tab to apply, then OK, or close and you're all set. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joy" <happyhappyjoyjoy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, October 09, 2004 8:17 PM Subject: jaws/stand by mode > On my 98 se computer, if I am away for a while it is going to some sort of > stand by mode or something and when I come back to the computer jaws is > not > working.
