Whenever I'm downloading/installing/scanning for example, it stops doing what it's doing whenever I leave the computer. Like I'll start a scan or download and then go off to wokr, and whenI get back it's not prgressed. It will only do those things if I'm actually using the computer (i.e. the mouse is moving). I went to desktop and put standby on after 60 minutes but I don't think that worked and it still takes me days to download stuff as it only works when I'm, actually using the computer. What can I do? THANKS!
