My computer goes to sleep/hibernate in 3 min. when not used, how can I change the interval of time until this mode?
How to set the time it takes for my computer access mode standby, when I do not use it? Thank you.
Hi ILUVHAWAII,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.
By default, your computer goes to sleep after a short period of inactivity to save power. To keep the computer awake longer, increase the sleep after setting.
To keep your computer awake longer
1. open power Options by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking power Options .
2. in the left pane, click change when the computer sleeps.
3. in the change for the plan of the parameters in the page computer standby list, click the amount of time slot on battery or AC (or both) and then click Save changes.

Windows Photo Gallery. How can I change the settings in the Windows Photo Gallery to automatically open the image without going to the index first?
Additional information: there are 2 computers that I use on the first Gallery Photo of Windows will open the image and allow me to use the left and right buttons to scroll through the rest of the photos in the folder, that's what I want.
On the 2nd computer when I open an image it will open the Windows Photo Gallery in an index with thumbnails of the displayed record. How can I change so that it opens the same thing as the first computer?
I did the following on both computers; Right-click on the image and select open with...--> choose the default program--> go--> Program Files, Windows Photo Gallery, but it will be open always differently on computer 2.
Both computers use Windows Vista 32-bit.
Thanks in advance.

Hey there,
From the start screen, by scanning the right to appear charms, press 'search', type 'power', press 'settings' touch 'power options', this will open a window in the office. On the left side of this window, you will see an option called 'change when the computer sleeps,' touch this, change the settings you want, touch "save changes" and you're done.
Hope that helped,
