automatic log off?

[Guest]

Hi,

Recently, I've noticed that I get automatically logged off from my computer
if I leave it onm for a long time. It hasn't happened before. I leave it on,
and when I come back hours later, I'm booted off to user selection screen. I
didn't change any settings or anything. How do I fix this?

Thanks

Hi,

Control Panel/Display/Screensaver tab, uncheck the option for "on resume,
display welcome screen", then go to power options and on the advanced tab
uncheck the option to "prompt for password when the computer resumes from
standby".

Thanks for the info. But, neither checkboxes are checked. Any other ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

Then I would surmise that your system may be randomly rebooting due to some
other problem (maybe overheating?). Have you checked the event viewer yet?
