WIndows 95 just halts
Hi,
I just reinstalled windows95 and everything seems to be working fine except one problem After a certain amount of time of non-use, the system just halts. When I move the mouse everything works fine.. This occurs even if I am playing a wav file, all of a sudden the system just halts and I have to move the mouse to get it started again.
Has anybody experienced and fixed this problem?
Thanks,
Arthur

I am not sure if that is what I mean. WHen the cpu or harddrive halts, I move the mouse, then the screen turns black for a split seconds and the mouse pointer goes back to the center.
does this mean the hard-drive is in sleep mode?

vbguy, have you tried timing how long it takes before your system goes to sleep??

When you say the system just halts, you propably mean the hard drive is going into sleep mode.
Is that what you want to say??
