Hi there- well, instead of a complete shut down and reboot, all the time you get back to the PC, you put the thing to bed and let it sleep. The hardware won't use any power then. Restart back into where you were before, will the windows and programs open the same way. Nowadays, rebooting has an option where all programs open at that time will re-open as well on boot time, but I personally find it more convinient and time saving to let the thing wake up and keep on working. I am rebooting the machine only when software demands same, after new installation. But with a Mac that seldomly happens. For me over here in Europe saving energy means a lot (cost). YOu can try this here --> put the kext into S/L/E and repair permissions, then reboot and see what happens. May need a nullcpupower... kext http://code.google.c...-sleep-enabler/ regards Manfred
