I tried an external keyboard and mouse, too. The machine goes to sleep in the middle of play. I think I have to give the game back and give up. A friend brought the MAC version with no issues. Everyone-who among you has seen this go-to-sleep behavior?

I use Win 7 but I tried the advice in that post, Display was set that way No change but thank you, I appreciate any suggestions When I changed power plan from balanced to anything else, it got worse and went to sleep in 15 seconds
