Safe sleep was made after noticing whenever Yahoo Messenger was running and sleep mode was initiated
Yahoo Messenger would break the internet connection after coming out of system sleep mode. Even though
it was set not to sign in automatically it would try to reconnect if it was running beforehand regardless
of what it was instructed to do. Without using Safe Sleep it would break the connection every time if your computer
was in sleep mode for any significant length of time.
What Safe Sleep does is shut down one application before your computer sleeps automatically so that when it
awakes your computer can connect to the internet without another application hammering it until it sucessfully blocks
your internet connection and you have to restart your computer and close a number of applications that you were
trying to keep open in the first place. If you notice that your computer can't connect to the internet after coming out of
sleep you may find that Yahoo Messenger or another server based application is the culprit. If you wish you can just
write a note to yourself to shut off the offending program and tape it to your monitor if you wish but Safe Sleep will
save you that headache by saving that program name in memory and automatically shutting down the interfering
application in the background so that when your program awakes your internet connection is still enabled and you
don't have to go through the rigamarole of restarting your computer again, just the offending program if desired.
Safe Sleep runs in the background and only shows a icon in the taskbar to let youknow it's active. Once you set
it up you will never have to touch it again because it optionally launches with Windows every time you start your
computer. You don't have to restart your computer either to start using Safe Sleep, as soon as you enter the name
of the program you want to shut down it stored in memory for all future use and is immediately active for your
benefit.
