off and goes to the windows log in screen you know were you have to click on
your account to begin using your computer, i have looked through all the

pressing any buttons or using the mouse please help me its driving me insane.

Hi,
If u r watching movie in windows media player then click Tools-
>option. in Player tab under player setting uncheck the Allow screen

saver during playback.Then go to Desktop and right click select
properties,Under screen saver tab uncheck onresume,password protected
checkbox.Then click power button,in the next window select advance tab
and uncheck the prompt for
password.....................................
I hope this will solve ur problem,if not try stopping screen saver and
pls give name of the software which u r using to watch ur movies.

Please stop using Text Messaging shorthand. It does not take you much more time to type out the
full word.
Text messaging shorthand is just plain poor presentation.
