Computer Keeps Locking and Going To The Login Screen I have stopped the sleep mode on this new computer. If i don't move the mouse every minute it goes to screensaver and then I have to sign in again. it is annoying, anyone have an answer on how to stop it from doing this. btw, I don't like windows 7 at all.
thank you.
