Windows XP lets any program override the sleep function

[LaserBack]

sorry if this post is out of topic

I need a patch for windows xp sp2 to don't let any program override energy options...

for example winuae when crash disconnect all my energy options

anyone knows a patch for that?

what prg was overriding your energy options. if such a program existed you should be able to disable it from within the individual program.

hamtronix,

don't know which program disables my power saving settings

it can be winuae or it can be any other...don't know
I haven't found the guilty...sometimes my energy settings are disabled...dunno why

I know that windows vista don't let any program override energy settings....I found an article here but not any solution

Just uncheck the "disable powersaving features" option in WinUAE.

Why do you let it crash ? WinUAE never crashes for me if I don't sit in front of it and do something stupid.

So it only crashes when people are using it?

Please tell me you're being sarcastic.  WinUAE crashes and burns on me regularly.  I can't even get the latest version to run at all, and the version I have runs like crap on a dual core CPU.
