After all these years, I've never found a definitive, simple to understand,
overall explanation of some of the XP main power saving settings, and the
relationship between power saving settings in bios and those in Windows.
i.e. I think I read somewhere years ago that that there is some interaction
between those in bios and in Windows.
re: my bios option "Repost video after STR", what's that for, and do I need
it seeing as I have STR, and "power down hd aafter x minutes," etc. set to
disabled ?
I have ACPI enabled in bios, as I fancy I remember reading a long time ago
that Windows needs this to be switched on for parts of its' power saving
features to work.
....and what's the difference between STR1 and STR3 etc. ?
....any enlightenment welcome TIA
regards, Richard
