PD 5.2* Question to Beta Testers

[cputnam]

Simple enough...does the 5.2* PD/drivers correct/address Power Management problems some have experience with the G400 and Win98/Win98SE?

In the meantime, anxiously awaiting their release and still having fun with my G400.

Hi Maggie

Some have experienced problems (as in my case) when a screen saver (other than none or blank screen) is enabled along with "Turn Off Monitor" and/or other power management features where the system goes into sleep mode and needs a full reboot to come back on.

I had the same problem with the original STB 128zx that came in my system until the drivers were updated/fixed to correct the problem.

Hi,

I did not have these problems with the 5.2x... This is a hard issue since it does not happen on all systems...

Hve you tried the patch from Microsoft about the power management problems with SE?
