Dell Vostro; bios & chipset updated, Vista Business updated
No other hw connected, no background tasks running, printer switched off,
sys runs 24/7
Ever since installing a usb connected HP photo printer (includes scanner) -
firmware & drivers upto date - the pwr options have become eratic.
ie sometimes screen saver & pwr off display functions, other times not. The
screensaver can kick in then without any user going near the PC the desktop
becomes active
I've tried resetting & changing Pwr Options, ensured usb hubs have the
option to allow to be turned off set - mysteriously on occasions this option
has been reset.
Screensaver set to 10 minutes but generally wont start for at least 45
minutes
No events logged
This is 'she who must be obeyed' PC the new printer was purchased because
she wanted to do a lot of scanning / printing of photos and didnt like my HP
business class printer that was connected via the wireless printer server.
HP states its a Dell bios problem, Dell says nothing
Any thought?
