More details? Not everyone knows what you're talking about-like me for instance. If it's about the screen saver/auto hybernate issue, look at this thread and see if that helps. Otherwise, please explain what you're asking about in detail.

Right, right... details, details... I thought this was a common thing, but apparently not so. When left alone in BootCamp, the MacBook Pro never automatically sleeps, hybernates, or auto-prompts a screensaver. I have the Energy Panel settings to shut off monitor, sleep, hybernate after (x) minutes. It will never automatically "rest".

Another weird issue is that it will spontaneously wake up from sleep mode after a certain number of minutes, it may be a half-hour or hour. The computer can be completely shut closed, and it will wake up -- monitor on with WinXP login screen showing. This is an issue because I can be driving to another location, and have the computer turn on and get hot in my laptop bag. Hybernation mode will not do this, which is why I have begun to use that instead.

Do these details sound familiar to anyone else?

- Moo!
