There are many opinions in the TURN IT OFF/LEAVE IT ON area and I will not get in the middle of that argument.
This machine is about 5 yrs old and when I use it it is on and when I am finished using it it is off.
I am talking about power, none of that standby/hibernate or other PM stuff.
The old clunker still runs fine.
I have a Compaq Presario Intel Celeron CPU 2.60GHz, 504 MB of RAM, 120 HD, Windows XP.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO SHUT DOWN FOR THE NIGHT?????
My kids are telling me not to shut down in Hibernate or to turn it off for the night. They say I'm suppose to put it on standby.
I've checked around on the net and Compaq Help. I can't find any information on it. Please HELP!!!!
