Ran PC on a screensaver all night with no problems. Turned up the acceleration to about half way so DirectX is disabled.
Laptop is running fine under Windows 98. Get 50k/sec transfers so internet is quite usable. Mozilla refuses to run. Firebird gave an error about missing function in an OLE library so installed IE6 to upgrade everything and firebird ran fine. Ironic, using IE6 as a patch to get another browser going.
ToDo:
Set up windows networking
Try VNC
Give laptop a swap partition
Investigate wakeup from standby: timed or network event.
