Computer problem, save and sleep mode

[Montana Grizz]

If I leave my computer unattended for more than 5 minutes, it enters a sleep mode. Now, that is usually no problem because I simply wake it back up and I'm right back to where I was when I left.

However, if my computer enters a sleep mode when I am playing the game, when I wake it up all I get is a colored screen with no units on it. My only option is then to exit the game and restart.

Therefore, I always save the game when I get up from my computer just in case I happen to be gone long enough for it to enter the sleep mode.

Is there something I can do about this problem other than extend the times I have before the computer enters the sleep mode?

It would be a bit of a hassle having to change them every time I open a game and then change them back when the game move is finished. I can see having to do this several times per day!!!!!!

Thank you,
