If I leave the computer alone for around 5 minutes it goes into a sleep mode. Moving the mouse brings up my password screen. Entering the pw brings me back to where I left off. I have the sleep mode set to never shut down the computer when plugged in, and 1 hour on battery. Turn off display is set to 20 minutes for both plugged in and on battery. Thanks for your help. Bob

Hello guys! First of all, I'm new here on this forum so '-Hi'- to everyone! You maybe hear this question every single day.

Hi! For info, I just got this 5c error on a fresh Vista Home Premium installation on a Gigabyte GA-8SIMLNF rev. 1.2 P4 mobo. After checking on the net, there seemed to be several referrals to correct this problem by BIOS update. But, as I didn't find any update for this particular mobo type I begun to check some other reasons, and quite soon noted the memory modules were impaired, other 266MHz...

I need to re-install Vista but i also need to back up about 200-250GB before i do that. Rather than transfer all of that over my home network to another computer, it would be easier to copy over the things i want from my D drive to my E drive (those are the only 2 drives with things on that i want to backup) Windows (Vista home premium 32-bit) is currently installed on C drive.
