If the computer is running on AC power I can connect to MSN Messenger but as soon as I disconnect the power plug the messenger logs off.<BR /><BR />Does anyone else experience the same problem? Does anyone know a solution to this problem?<BR /><BR />Thanks for your help!<BR /><BR />Bram<BR />The Hague, NL<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 04 Jan 2007 16:54:54 GMT https://community.sony.cz/t5/pcs-accessories/msn-hotmail-and-battery-power/m-p/53996#M84635 brambo77 2007-01-04T16:54:54Z https://community.sony.cz/t5/pcs-accessories/msn-hotmail-and-battery-power/m-p/53998#M84636 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Bram and welcome to the forum.<BR /><BR />Check that the Power management options of your Network Connection is not set to “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”.<BR /><BR />This is the most common reason for loss of connection while running on battery power....<BR /><BR />Look in Device Manager &gt; Network Adaptors &gt; Network Connection &gt; Properties &gt; Power Management tab.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 04 Jan 2007 17:15:38 GMT https://community.sony.cz/t5/pcs-accessories/msn-hotmail-and-battery-power/m-p/53998#M84636 rich912 2007-01-04T17:15:38Z https://community.sony.cz/t5/pcs-accessories/msn-hotmail-and-battery-power/m-p/53999#M84637 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks a lot!
