Corporate has “fixed” our machines so they cannot sleep or hibernate.
So many answers...so little time...
I have Windows Vista, Dell laptop, and I need to make sure it lasts me a few years, even though I use it a lot. Every day, mostly all day long. I do take breaks of anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, or even take a day off because I’m not feeling well enough to sit here.
So I really do need to know what is the best for me to do...shut it down, sleep it, or put it in suspended animation.
