Bdux,

Deafeating the Sleep function is accomplished in the following manner:

Apple Menu | Control Panel | Energy Saver

Click on the Sleep Setup tab/button and then the Show Details button.

Check off the "Separate timing for display sleep" box and set the slide for "Never". You might have to do this for both the Power Adapter settings and the Battery settings.

Fine tune some of this and see if it doesn't help a bit.

Do you have Palm Organizer? If so, be sure to disable auto enable during start up. and leave it unchecked unless you need it. This glitch affects the sleep funtion.
