XP Pro Locks up!

[Clyde]

I recently installed XP Pro and since, I have not been able
to leave my putter on and unattended without it locking up.
Usually between a half hour to one hour. Makes no
difference if I have my desktop up, using internet or any
program. Then I have to reboot to use. Need help, thank you...

Check the Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer for more
informations.

Go to Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance link, then Power Options.
At the bottom of the Power Schemes page where it says System standby, change
whatever value is in there to "never." (By clicking on the arrow at the far
right of that box.)
