I'm having a problem with my laptop. I have Office XP
and the computer shuts down on its own. It doesn't go
into hibernation but shuts down entirely if it is idle
for a while. How do I change this?

Thanks,
Dana
 
I'm sure you must mean Windows XP even if you do also happen to have Office
XP.

In any event, this sounds like a power problem. Being a laptop there could
be an issue with the battery or if it also or only happens when connected to
an outlet, there may be an issue with the laptops internal power supply.
Also, overheating can cause this type of issue and laptops run hot,
especially when on the battery. It's very important with laptops that the
vents not be covered, are you sure the ventilation for the laptop has clear
air flow and not blocked in any way.
