    How do I stop my computer from hibernating overnight?

    I want to use my computer thru the night (burning my slideshow DVDs that take
    a lot of time) and I was doing this overnight when I was running XP. Now with
    VISTA I come down in the morning and my DVD is ejected but the process didn't
    finish... I assume because my machine is asleep ( hibernating, conked-out ,on
    vacation?)
    How do I change the settings?
    Thank you!

    select your power plan, click on change plan settings, then on change
    advanced plan setings, scroll down to the SLEEP section.
