Suspending Your Computer
As an alternative to shutting down your computer,
you can put your PC in Suspend mode. When you
suspend your computer, it goes into a low-power
state and your display is blank as if its turned
off. The next time you use your computer, any
applications, folders, and documents that were open
before you suspended the computer will be ready
and waiting for you. With Suspend, you can save
electricity without having to wait for your PC to go
through the normal startup routine when you turn on
the computer.
Suspend also allows faxes to come through to your
computer, and enables your PC to automatically
retrieve your e-mail messages and download
information from the World Wide Web (if you have
programmed your computer to do so).
To suspend the computer:
1
Press the Suspend button on the keyboard. The
screen goes dark, and the computer goes into
Suspend mode.
2
When you want to use your computer again, just
start to use the keyboard or mouse, or press the
Suspend button. The screen display will reappear
just as you left it.
Another way to suspend your computer is to choose
Suspend on the Start menu.
