Got a new high spec PC recently.

One thing it does is to go to "power saving" if no activity. That is fine as I am used to that!

What I'm not used to is that it goes to sleep, after perhaps fifteen minutes, if there has been no user input.

The problem here is that my apps stop responding so no bets are placed!

There is sod all in the user guide about this so just wondering if any of you know of a fix!

What I have done as a bodge, is to set another app running, to place unmatchable bets on every horse and dog race, in all available countries,
and as a safeguard also running in sim mode.

The danger always, with running too many apps, is going over the twenty data requests per second, and getting hit with data charges
(these can be massive as I have found out to my cost)!

Glad it was solved, easy enough to fix.
I bought a keyboard with silly "power" related buttons where scroll lock etc normally are. I kept accidentally powering off accidentally (VERY ANNOYING!) so THAT was permanently fixed with a bit of anger, a bit of screwdriver, and a bit of "ping".

Anyome want a "sleep" or "power" key, one not so careful owner Grin?!

Can this 'sleep key' be used in other situations?
