minutes of use. The workaround was to turn off Automatic Power<br>
Management, in My Settings.<br>
<br>
The lead developer, John Maloney, reckons that this is fixed in<br>
Scratch 16, but I'd appreciate if some testing could be done.<br>

Give Scratch v16 a try with power management enabled, and let me know<br>
if it works. A good test is to start Scratch, play a sound, then wait<br>
five or ten minutes. If everything still works okay after ten minutes,<br>
the problem is solved.<br>
<br>
Note: Some people have reported that Scratch keeps the computer from<br>
going into power saving mode. It's probably a good idea to quit the<br>
Scratch Activity when it is not being used.<br>
