times out constantly and requires input of password again

Our computer is protected by word (a Director) & one for the other.  It expires after short periods of no use constantly (approx. 1 to 2 minutes).  How can we change it takes longer before having to enter password again?

Hi Tammyx2,
 
-You have the screen saver on your computer?
 
If so, this could be the cause of the problem. By selecting the on Resume, password protect check box in the tab screen saver locks your computer when the screen saver is activated. When you begin working again you will be asked to type your password to unlock it.
 
Follow these steps to resolve the problem:
 
a. click Start, click Control Panel, click appearance and themesand then click on display.
b. in the tab under screen saver screen saver , click a screen saver. Increase the waiting time in the menu dropdown.
c. uncheck the box that says "on resume, password protect".
d. click on apply. Click OK.

  • locking the computer: if not using computer for a while, it locks and requires the initial password to get in

    So do not use computer for a while, it locks and requires the initial password to get back in. When it becomes available, we've been thrown off internet, or another program we are.

    I don't know why Mr. Murphy suggested a system restore. Maybe he interpreted your post differently I did. You have your screen standby/power options defined on too short a time. You can also disable the requirement for a password during the recovery.

    Right-click on an empty area of the desktop and click on personalize. To customize the applet opens. Click the screen saver. Change the timeout to something reasonable like 10 or 20 minutes. You will see where you can clear the check box next to the "password required on curriculum vitae... ».

    Now do the same in the (Control Panel) Power Options applet. This link contains pictures showing you how to disable this option:

  • Zero-out WEI and force it to start again

    I have two systems with the same hardware, but the Intel motherboards have a different revision of BIOS (not by choice, but because they got like that).  The two are running W-7 HP 64 - bit with all updates.

    I recently played a bit with overclocking slightly Intel graphics on both, not a lot, just to see what would happen.  So I ran WEI on both.  On a PC, graphic indexes is over 6.5, while on the other PC graphic indexes remained at 6.2.  I checked that the multiplier of graphics has been changed in the two BIOS, so it was a strange interaction between the BIOS and the WEI.

    I decided to keep the new settings.  I went back into the BIOS and reset all default settings using the F9 key.  Then I re ran WEI on both, but I got the same results as before, 6.5 and 6.2.  WEI is not base his index finger on the performance and remembers the last index.

    Is it possible to zero-out WEI as if I just installed Windows?

  • Why Windows 7 keep forgetting that I deleted the resurrection and my new WiFi password?

    I just changed my internet provider and they gave us a new WiFi router.

    I tell my Windows 7 computer to connect to the new network and do not forget the password for it, I also deleted the old network.
    Now I am pulling my hair because for some reason any Windows decides to forget that I told it to remember the password, and after having restarted my computer, I have to connect and manually enter the password again. Moreover, the former network that I deleted keeps reappearing! I tried implementing a new network manually through "Set up a connection" but it does not work.
    I will do this every time I start the crazy machine. Can anyone help?

    Hello, I have just reinstalled my wireless card drivers and it seems to work now.

  • Want a ramp of output voltage over time and measure input 2 analog USB-6008

    Hello

    I want to produce an analog voltage output signal that increases over time with a certain slope, which I'll send in a potentiostat and at the same time I want to read voltage and current (both are represented by a voltage signal) that I want to open a session and ultimately draw from each other. To do this, I have a DAQ USB-6008 system at my disposal.

    Creation of the analogue output with a linear ramp signal I was possible using a while loop and a delay time (see attachment). Important here is that I can put the slope of the linear ramp (for example, 10mV/s) and size level to make a smooth inclement. However when I want to measure an analog input signal he's going poorly.

    To reduce noise from the influences I want for example to measure 10 values for example within 0.1 second and he averaged (this gives reading should be equal or faster then the wrong caused by the slope and the linear ramp step size.) Example: a slope of 10 mV/s is set with a 10 step size. Each 0.1 s analog output signal amounts to 1 mV. Then I want to read the analog input in this 0.1 s 10 values)

    Because I use a timer to create the linear ramp and the analog input is in the same loop, the delay time also affects the analog input and I get an error every time. Separately, in different VI-programs (analog input and output) they work fine but not combined. I searched this forum to find a way to create the ramp in a different way, but because I'm not an experienced labview user I can't find another way.

    To book it now a bit more complicated I said I want to measure 2 input analog (one for the voltage of the potentiostat) signals and one for the current (also represented by a voltage signal) and they should be measured more quickly then the bad of the analog signal. I have not yet started with because I couldn't read on channel work.

    I hope someone can help me with this problem
