The detectors on the STarSystem close down automatically following 4 hours of system inactivity. If the laser status indicator on the system status bar indicates that the laser is asleep rather than ready following the completion of the warmup, this can indicate that you do not have the necessary Power User or Administrator access priveliges to the windows operating system (Access priveliges do not affect Windows 98SE users).

Please consult your IT department or network administrator.
