TOPIC


    My Macintosh automatically shuts itself down after the idle time specified in the Energy Saver control panel. I have a PC Compatibility Card installed in this computer, and I understand that I'm supposed to exit Windows before shutting down. Does the Energy Saver control panel do this for me?

DISCUSSION


    Before shutting down or restarting your computer, you should exit Windows 3.1 or shut down Windows 95. However, the Energy Saver control panel is not able to exit Windows or shut down Windows 95 for you. Since the Energy Saver control panel cannot do this, you should either make sure you shut down or exit Windows before the computer shuts itself off, or you should have the computer put itself to sleep instead of shutting down. To put your Macintosh in the sleep mode instead of shut down do the following:

    Step 1
    ------
    Open the Energy Saver control panel.

    Step 2
    ------
    Click the "Shut down instead of sleeping" checkbox. This removes the checkmark.

    Step 3
    ------
    Close the Energy Saver control panel.

    Step 4
    ------
    Restart your Macintosh computer.
