This is a brand new, direct from Dell, XPS 8700. Despite setting the sleep and power modes to "never" the unit continues to go into a sleep or stand-by mode after being idle for a short period. Each time, a password is required to wake it. I use a pin, which activates the machine quickly, but it is still a nuisance. I am logged in as administrator and use a a wireless mouse. Is there some other switch I need to configure to get this machine to stay awake?
