Netbook / Laptop (Easy Question)

[MomNEEDShelp]

When I watch Hulu, the powersaver goes on and the screen goes dim.  While watching a tv show, I have to keep tapping a key or the scroll pad to fully wake it up to full color. This is sooooo annoying!  How can I stop it from going into powersaver/dim mode?


(Sorry for all the questions, guys. I got a new netbook and I am not technical) Thanks!!!

Does it do this if the AC power is hooked up ? ?

[MomNEEDShelp]

Funny u ask.........Nope!  Just when the cord is out.

So it sounds like there is a setting that does this to save battery
Go to start then control panel and click on power settings in classic view.  Change it to something else like home/office desktop

THANKS!!!  I changed everything to die out after 2 hours so if I am watching a movie, it wont be effected by power saving.


WOW!!! You guys are great!!!   How the heck do you know all this!!?? My problem is remembering it all.


A BIG  TO YOU ALL!!

Glad its working! Patios first question helped me to think of it.

hmmmmmmmmmmm???    I spoke too soon. It is still dimming after I leave it alone for a few minutes.  Any other tips/tricks to stop this dim?  (When I tap anything, it goes back to full light) I don't want to have to do this.

Try changing the power scheme.  Try the home/office pc first and if that doesnt work keep trying different ones until it works

I changed to Home/Office when u said to but I will try another. I think one choice was for Laptop. Maybe that one?  Hmmm, we shall see.


Thanks 4 the quick reply.
