Some more good advice. This time from the guys over at Sim-Outhouse.Turn off automatic scans by your anti-virus. Turn off automatic updates by Windows. Turn off your screensaver. Turn off automatic everything. (dangerousdave, jcook28, fliger747)Also, click on the advanced power saving options button on the display/screensaver tab and disable all the power saving features like turn off display after..., turn off HDDs after..., etc...

Definitely bad to be on a leg and have Windows update or your vscan interrupt your leg. Had this in the MacROberts well into one of my long flights and data entry sessions.
