How do I stop power saver from shutting PC off?

How do I stop the power saver feature from shutting off my monitor and
computer before it finishes defragging? Why is everything moved and renamed?
I right-click on desktop and properties is no longer there. I don't want my
PC shutting off when it's defragging or I have to work with a client or be
on the phone. The frustration doesn't end.....

What did you do when you were in Windows XP? You went to desktop
"properties", right? What did you do there? You were allowed to
"personalize" your computer functions!

What is in Vista when you right click on the desktop?

PERSONALIZE

Use it to do what you want to do. Don't be afraid to explore a bit.

We feel your pain... only in a different way.

It surely will be nice when you've got your computer fixed. Maybe you
should let the kid work on it.

The reason is that unless MS moves things around and renames them,
they don't have much to really justify calling it a "new" OS. They use
the same policy with MS-Office.

I agree Bob. I've heard others make the same claim. We had a tech come over
this afternoon and spend 4 hours here helping us with the new Vista
machines. The last computers are being replaced by new MACs or PCs with XP.
Most likely XPs since MACs are so expensive. So many things are suspiciously
like XP only moved somewhere else or renamed or both. XP with a "new coat"
and some extras tossed in. I wonder what W7 will be like.
