Hi,

I am a new member of about 15 min and I hope I am posting in the right section for a question about my toshiba tecra 8100 with Windows 2000 Professional.

The problem is when I am idle for a period of the monitor turns off and I do not know how to turn it back on. I wanted to change the power settings but when i click on the power options icon it says to close it and go to toshiba power saver but it doesn't open.

I would appreciate any help!

Thanks,
Lisa

I'm confused about one thing. Are you running Linux or Windows on this machine?

This is a help-each-other site for Linux, so finding anyone who knows much about a technical question about Windows is going to be accidental. If you are running Linux, I may be able to help. (Knowing which flavor - Red Hat, Debian, SUSE, etc - would be helpful.)

My best guess if you're running Windows is that there's probably a CD that came with the machine that has Toshiba software on it. Either the power saver application didn't get installed, or it's broken.

If it's already installed, un install it, then re-install it from the CD. You might also try looking on Toshiba's site to see if they describe any problems similar to what you're having and can suggest a fix.

Hope this helps,

CHL
