found this in another forum, works perfect."To disable it right-click on the parental control icon in the lower right task bar and click "Free of Control Mode" (you may have to click the expand arrow to see all the programs). Also, if you haven't ever opened parental control, you may or may not have to create a password first, but then everything should work fine."

If you are using a laptop and running windows xp, this is what I did: go to control -&gt;power options -&gt; power schemes -&gt;always on.

I have not noticed this problem with mine. In fact I'm using it right now without being plugged in. You might want to check your power settings under the screen saver settings. Perhaps it is set to put your computer to sleep or turn off the display when it is running on the battery. When I first got mine, I had to change the "choose what closing the lid does" settings so it wouldn't go to sleep and stop whatever I was downloading when I would close the lid. Hope this helps!

I just read this. Very good info. But does the computer have to be on the internet all the time or just on. I do not mind keeping it on but I find my router often goes off the internet if I leave it too long. Can you Help LaRaine

I have the same exact issue. I have the recharbale battery pack, and i watch him playing with it, I guess you cant turn it off, similar to an iPad, however my two year old loves turing it on and off and waving goodbye to it.

My oldest child figured out how to bypass my "Safe Browser" and parental controls for internet usage. I have one of these as the safety net. There is no on screen display or notification that the key logger is in place.

Gary, I can't seem to get rid of anything I mentioned as it isn't removed. So I just added Firefox and use it. I didn't know IE was needed for the purpose you mention about updates so am glad I left it there. That's a very useful bit of info for the future. I did keep Trend Micro but am using Avast (that one is new to me and so far I've been very happy with it) and can use on 3 computers. I haven't needed Open Office yet but will keep in mind either it or cloud apps you mentioned. I've been very pleased with this netbook and its battery life. Thanks so much

On my Dell XPS there is a switch/button that pops the battery out for you. Just make sure your computer is off so and that you've saved whatever you were working on!

I don't think there are any parental controls, but you can check your kids search history on the internet and apps store.

There's actually nothing to turn off. Your mouse will merely take over for the Touchpad. I have a cordless mouse that works absolutely perfectly with this laptop. Enjoy! It's a great machine!!!!

go to power off screen and change to 5 minutes that is the longest it can stay on

There should be a setting under the menu to tell it what time to do this, or possibly shut it off entirely. Alternatively, do what my girlfriend does and just unplug it when you aren't using it. Check the menu though, I am fairly certain there is a setting.

No problem... let me know if you need more help... I have TONS of cool little tricks for these netbooks. I've searched high and low and kept the resource usage as low as possible... This little computer is amazing.Mark

You can turn it off for optimum battery life. I never turn it off but I've only had it about a month now and haven't needed to replace the battery. There is an on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse.
