I have Vista Home Premium. How do I get it to quit locking the user account
after it sits for awhile?

Hi Brad

Right click some blank space on the desktop and click Personalise
Click Screen Saver
Uncheck the box On Resume, display login screen

That should do the trick.

My box was already unchecked and it still locks me out after awhile.
Any ideas?

Earthbound,

You might check your Power Plan options to see how long you have it set
before the computer goes into a sleep mode. This will show you how:

Also check to see if you have password protection on wakeup enabled. If
so, disable it. You can see how in Step Two here:

Hope this helps you,
Shawn
