Automatic disconnection of Windows 7

I just installed a PC Windows 7 driver to one of our branches off site.  I built this Windows 7 PC from scratch, move all applications to the Windows XP system, our sites are currently using and the upgrade of those who does not properly in Windows 7 vs Windows XP.

I slept on the spot after the installation of this Windows 7 PC and noticed that after about 10 minutes from the idle screen, the screen briefly went black and then returned to the top with the login of the user, saying "(nom d'utilisateur) is locked.'"  In addition to the administrator, I have three user accounts on this PC.  All are accounts administrator (as well as some of our programs from functioning properly), but are locked via group policy so that they can access that give them access to.  Power option is set to 'High performance' more "Turn off display" and "Put the computer to sleep" are both set to 'never '.  So why this PC log off after 10 minutes of inactivity?

I've recreated the question with a PC duplicate this morning.  I thought that maybe he had to with IE 8 being left open to the screen, but both with IE 8 open and with just the office upward on the screen, after about 10 minutes of inactivity, it the user disconnected and returned to their connection with "username is locked."

What setting I'm missing here?

Thank you.

I saw a group strategy that has included the definition of the connection of the default Screensaver [in this case, users can change the setting themselves later to work around connection screensaver requirement if they chose to do].

If your experience doesn't mean that your group policy is responsible for the behavior you've seen.

    Hi K - Ann,

    Thank you for the above information.

    I followed you instruction to back up the registry keys, but when I followed step number 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

    Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

    So I closed my computer and restarted. I then followed your instructions again (this time save the backup of the registry to a member in the same library, called "Backup260910bkup"

    Yet once, when I followed the number of the step 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

    Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910bkup.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

    Can you tell me what I need to do to work around this problem of backup of the registry?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones USB automatically disconnects from the PC, you can't install OS

    Hello

    I bought a used blackberry 8320. I wanted to upgrade the operating system on it, so I installed the BB Desktop Software 4.5, installed latest OS BB8320m from blackberry.com (4.5.0.294) to my PC, connected my phone to the PC via the USB cable and tried to update the operating system, during the update, my phone automatically disconnected a few times when the installer said "Waiting for device to initialize. After that, he went up to "loading software system...» Stage of module rim.bb... «, then the phone unplugged USB and BB Desktop Software displays an error «a fatal error occurred during the update...» ». At this point, my device showed 561 error with a Windows 3.0 as a window with a triangle, square, and a circle in it. I read online that this can be corrected by wiping the phone using Jl_Cmder. I did this, then he displayead '507' on the screen.

    Now, I said that I can "easily" solve this by simply loading the operating system on the device. But whenever I try to load the operating system, the phone disconnects automatically during installation. It seems to happen at the same stage.

    Later, I realized that if I connect the device to the PC and just leave, it STILL disconnects randomly, almost every 2 minutes!

    How can I fix it? I want to install an OS on my blackberry.

    I tried this on two different machines, different ports and with + without the battery.

    Y at - it a function, Add on, etc. which will regularly send activity to a web site to prevent it from automatically disconnect me for inactivity? There are several sites that I keep in my tabs for the purposes of monitoring, but they have periods of ridiculous timeout from 5 to 15 minutes.

    It is possible that it was by force the windows closed so your firefox which makes you forget... Have you tried to crash your Firefox to see if the session is not restored?

    To plant your Firefox, simply there open, press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and then, on the process tab in the window that appears, complete the process firefox.exe. That will force Firefox to close at this moment. Do start again. If it works, ok, so it may have been a case isolate. My recommendation is to configure your windows does not install updates without your intervention. Choose something like 'ask me what to do' or something like that.
