Autolock office after 1 minute without having a screen saver or management settings that take in charge of power

My vista computer locks my desktop (just like Win + L) automatically after 1 minute of inactivity so I don't have a screen saver or any power management settings that could indicate that.

I timed it it and its exactly 1 minute of inactivity on the keyboard or the mouse.

Hello

You can check whether or not the same phenomenon occurs in safe mode. To start in SafeMode followed the link given below.

Startup options (including safe mode)

You can also consult the Plan power settings to check if this is initially to lock the computer.

  • My 2 year old somehow gave a password on our computer and now we can get in our office. Without having to return to the default settings, anyone have a suggestion on how to solve this problem?

    My 2 year old somehow gave a password on our computer and now we can get in our office.  Without having to return to the default settings, anyone have a suggestion on how to solve this problem?

    If you have a different user account with administrative privileges, Panel you can connect that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

  • Would I be able to communicate via USB without having to install the Desktop Manager?

    Here's my situation. My company has a software product for the office that communicates with a telephone connected via USB. Currently, it is a prerequisite to install the BlackBerry Desktop Manager to be able to use the ability to synchronize our software.

    What I am wanting to know is, somehow I was able to realize USB communication without having to install the Desktop Manager? Another question I have is, if it is possible to do this without having to install the Desktop Manager, would there be legal issues that should be considered in what concerns the packaging of the bbdevmgr as well as my package of office software?

    Hi Trevorcollinge,

    File of the Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) used by the Citrix application servers; contains configuration information to connect to different servers; can be connected to a published application or a server's desktop environment.

    ICA files can be created with the ICA file creator program or a basic text editor.

    You can double-click an ICA file to open the virtual application remote or referenced by the file desktop environment. Note that you must have a Citrix client installed for the file to open correctly.

    The screen still freezing occurs, and the only way to get out of it, is a hard reset of the operating system (power button).

    Here are 2 logs system, I found, actually rebooted device itsself so after freezing.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium switch user screen appears after that so much time has passed well that slowed after the SmileDesktop with screen saver is installed, but do not know how to stop it.

    I used the selective startup to the Office of Smile, which replaces and updates the old Webshots Desktop, which includes the automatic download and auto downloads of images from their site as well as a screen saver.

    There nothing good. rest after so many minutes I connect get back a windows screen does not cause me to lose any data or stop all processes. All running processes continue, but it's the nagging drawback of signing as myself to the computer after having been automatically set user to switch mode. It's probably the fault of this program. In addition, before this Webshots desktop update which included also a screen saver Windows update the eve told me don't not to unplug my computer and that she had to deal with several updates of windows, so I went and the computer stop moments later. The next day was when the message for an update has been waiting for the SmileDesktop program, which is a program that mimics Webshots Desktop, as well as replace the Webshots Desktop. After installed SmileDesktop automatically changed my screen saver settings that were on any mode SmileDesktop screen saver mode. I clicked on the option to disable screen saver. That's when I first noticed the screen splash appearing after that so many minutes of inactivity, change that said user and then I started to worry.
    Norton has found no problem with my computer, and
    Finally, I gave up.

    Hello

    Thanks for asking this question to Microsoft Community.

    If I understand correctly, you want to disable the fast user switching option. Could you please answer a few questions before moving?

    Since when are you facing the issue? Do you have any security program installed on the computer? How many accounts is configured on the computer? Have you done a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

    Here is an article that will help you to turn off the fast user switching option. Alternatively, you can uninstall Office to smile and check if it helps. You can also make the screen saver password that is built into Windows. Follow these steps:

    (a) open screensaver settings by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type screen saver, and then uncheck the box for password game screen.

    Hope this information is helpful and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

  • Windows 7 freezes after the awakening of the screen saver.

    Windows 7 has recently been gel after the awakening of the screen saver that works all night.  This does not happen after shorter periods, to be in screen saver mode.

    I use a (empty) delivered screensaver.  When he wakes up I can open the Control Panel, but I can't open anything else.  If I try to open a Web browser first browser does not open and I can't open the Panel configuration or any other application.  I can't even restart the computer without hitting the power button.

    This is a new Windows machine and it worked fine for several months.  It is a series of of CM5571 ASUS desktop PCs. Pentium E5400 Dual Core CPU. 6 GB of ram 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.

    In the event logs, I see errors repeated for SideBySide and volmgr.

    My advice is that you should update the BIOS and motherboard drivers:

    http://support.ASUS.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

    Have you tried updating the BIOS yet?  'freeze upwards after the awakening of the screen saver'-c' is very similar to a problem faced by Vista users with motherboards Asus 2/3 years ago:

    Actual title: white screen

    Yesterday, I started to have a white screen on my computer screen shortly after the appearance of the screen saver. Monitor still works but this means it will come out? Screen stay white throughout the night.

    Hello

    (1) do you have made no changes before this problem?

    (2) do you use pictures as a screen saver?
     
    See the below link that supports you in updating the graphics driver and check if the problem persists.
     
    Method 2: Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows
     
    Method 3: You can also try using a different screen saver and check if that helps.
     
    Hope this information helps.
