    Can I ask a favor of you computer maniacs out there?
    I have windows vista. I am watching streaming live feed of the OJ trial.
    How do I get the screen to NOT go to sleep-to stay on all the time till I wish to turn it off? I cant find the dam powersaver or whatever settings.
    Thanks:)

    That obviously turns off the screen saver. That's only part of the solution (but maybe all you need). The Vista power settings may still "turn off" your monitor after a certain period of time. Those settings are under Personalize > Screen Saver > Change Power Settings > Change When The Computer Sleeps. Mine was set for 20 minutes of inactivity...
