Stanor - I have a worse problem with the sleep mode. The computer puts itself
into sleep mode if I don't touch it for about 30 seconds, and then it is
almost impossible to get it to come out of sleep mode whatever I do. Even
booting up the computer again doesn't always solve the problem. Any
suggestions from anyone would be appreciated.
