Best Answer

The time values for sleep, hibernate etc. are pre-set. You can change the values at any time - by clicking the Power Settings option in Control Panel. You can lengthen the time the computer waits before going into sleep mode. Use the drop-down menus to change the length of time - even setting it to 'never' - if you don't want it to go into sleep mode at all.

You can always restore the original settings once you've finished downloading etc.

The easiest method is to verify with the vendor that the application downloaded will work on Vista. You are running Vista on a 32bit computer the application might have a chance to work, you can make software applications run on Vista by setting the compatibility mode to an older version of Windows. If you are running Vista on a 64bit computer the application will not work at all. The application will need to be a 64bit application and vista compatible.
