My system goes into standy on AC power even though I have
selected "never" in the Toshiba Power Options dialog.

Anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks.
 
Hi Wayne,

It's likely because it is still enabled in the system BIOS. You will need to
disable it there.

Hi Wayne,

Disable it or access the system BIOS?

To enter the system BIOS, click start/shutdown/restart windows if you are
currently running, or simply start the system.

After windows shuts down, the machine begins to reload. At this point you
should either have a manufacturer logo screen or a POST screen that shows
the hard drives and other devices being detected. You need to enter BIOS at
this point before windows begins to load.

If it is the latter, there should be a line that says "Press <some key> to
enter setup", you will need to depress the indicated key.

If you get a manufacturer logo, you can try referring to the manual you
recieved with the pc to discover which key you need to depress while the
logo is being displayed or you can try hitting the escape key. Generally,
the keys used to enter the BIOS are F1, F2, F10, <delete>, <escape>, and the
space bar, though there are some others.

In the BIOS, look for power options, disable any you find that set standby
or hibernate functions. Once you have made your changes, you want to "exit
saving changes", usually F10, to restart the system.

Thanks for the tip Rick. I tried another approach before
I saw your post. I uninstalled Toshiba Power Management
Utility. Then downloaded and installed Toshiba Power
Management Utility from the Toshiba site. Works fine now.
