Computer locking on it's own

[Rick Merrill]

Hi:
I am having a problem with the computer locking on its own after about five
minutes off not using it. Is this a setting in WinXP Pro that got turned on
some how or possibly a third party program, either way it is driving me
crazy trying to find it and shut it off, any help appreciated.

Locking as in freezing and not accepting input, going to an Unlock Computer
screen, or to the Welcome Screen?

It is going back to the unlock computer screen.

Hi Rick,

Sounds like there might be either a screensaver set for 5 minutes that's
configured for 'on resume, password protect'.

Check that and let us know.
