POWER OPTIONS

[Gnat_20]

I HAVE AN OLD GATEWAY MX 6438 NOTEBOOK ON WHICH I REFORMATTED THE HARD DRIVE. ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE GATEWAY INSTALL/RECOVERY CD, I SEEMED TO HAVE LOST SOME DRIVERS. I'VE RELOADED WINDOWS XP AND CANNOT GET THE LAPTOP TO RUN POWER SAVING FUNCTIONS. NEITHER THE MONITOR OR THE HARD DRIVE SHUT DOWN AS THEY SHOULD UNDER THE POWER SAVING SETTINGS IN POWER OPTIONS. ALSO, IN THE ADVANCED POWER OPTIONS SETTINGS, THE ONLY OPTION I HAVE IS "DO NOTHING" FOR CLOSING THE LID. THERE SHOULD BE AN OPTION FOR SLEEP OR SOMETHING, SHOULDN'T THERE. LOOKING FOR HELP WITH THESE ISSUES. THANKS.

Look for updated drivers at the Gateway website.
