ThanksRight Click the Desktop and go to Properties. Hit the Screensaver tab and change the screensaver to NONE. Also, uncheck the checkbox under it.Also check your computers power saving settings. Some times your computer will go in to a 'lock computer' mode if you leave it alone for a while. This just shuts off the screen and powers down non essential systems but also takes you to the log in screen.If it's doing this then you have a screensaver enabled....Yes you are right my Limited account had Screen Saver turned on but my account had it turned of. So I turned both off and it is ok thanks.OK I turned off Screen Saver in my ADMIN and Limited accounts and it was working and not going on.

What is going on??I'm just having a guess mate but this no longer sounds LIKE a screen saver. It sounds more like your PC is going into an energy saving mode... Have you checked your energy saving settings?Quote from: Mulreay on May 03, 2009, 04:30:50 PM I'm just having a guess mate but this no longer sounds like a screen saver. It sounds more like your PC is going into an energy saving mode... Have you checked your energy saving settings? i.e. Power Options.I did check MT Power Saving Settings and they are OFF in the Admin account and the Limited account.

So it seems ok now but it did go into Screen Saver ther other day??Did you uncheck the box in the screensaver tab by any CHANCE?Yes?Well it should work fine. I don't know what the problem is.Thanks for the help it does work but that one day I cam back to the computer it was on and I did not know why. I gess it is just one of these goofy things thanks again.OK I whent into my Limited account and foundout that the Power Setting for Monitor was set to Turn Off After 20 Min. So I whent to try to change it to never just like I have it in my Admin account. And a Window comes up saying I can do it. Help???Maybe it's because you're on a Limited account. Does the screen turning off after 20 minutes really matter?
