If my computer is idle for a short time it goes to sleep and I cannot wake it up. I have to shut the whole thing off at the surge switch. Then it goes thru some kind thing because I didn't shut down properly. Can I turn that sleep thing off and if so how? I am running Vista Home Version Prem 32 bit on a Compaq Presario. Do you need any further info?

Thanks for your help.

Turn Sleep off in Power options.
