Keep your computer awake

 

Watching TV shows and movies on your computer is great. But one nagging annoyance brings the experience down. Your screensaver keeps cutting in. Or your monitor turns off. Or your computer goes to sleep. Arrrg!

You could just move the mouse every five minutes. Or you could just change the settings in Windows. Simply click Start>>Control Panel. Select Power Options>>blah, blah, blah. Who really wants to do any of that?

You just want to sit back and watch, not mess with settings. That’s where Caffeine comes in. It’s like a strong cup of coffee for your PC. Turn it on, and stop worrying about your computer blanking out.

It doesn’t change any of your settings. It simply simulates tapping the Shift key every 59 seconds. That won’t interrupt whatever program you’re using. But your PC will think you’re hard at work. Double-click the notification area icon (it’s the coffee pot) to turn it on and off.
