Hi All
I work in a number of schools and I'm constantly having to turn off every
available power saving option in their desktops and laptops to try and
remove 'PC's crashed' false alarms raised by teachers.
At the mo, I use the following settings on WinXP Pro SP2 machines (desktop
and laptop):
Screensaver: 15 mins
Turn Off Monitor: 20 mins
Turn Off Hard Disks: never
System Standby: never
System Hibernates: never
Are the above settings a bad thing?
Are they costing the school money, in light of the fact that they might have
80 machines buzzing away 6 - 7 hours a day?
What are the preferred settings?
If the Monitor is turned off what is the standard way to get it back on?
Ditto re the Hard Disks, Standby and Hibernate?
Is it possible that a PC can crash frequently if left in one of the above
states, ie in standby mode, for a long time?
This whole area is lost on me and I want to follow a set pattern from now
on. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks
