HI. I got a realy big problem. and anoiying one to. every time I go to make a cup of tea my computer has logged off. But I am unsure how to get passed this. I have checked my password resume under "display properties" and the box is not checked.

Can someone help. PLease:confused::confused::confused:
 
Does it actually log off, or did it switch users, go into standby, or have a screen saver start?
 
What OS? Go to control panel>Power Options. Put a check next to "High Performance" and then click "Change plan settings". Change "put the computer to sleep" from whatever it was to "Never".
 
^^ That means that your pc locked (fell asleep). Do as I said and it wont anymore. Or just windows media player running all the time, like I do.
 
Or go under the screen saver settings and un-check "Show welcome screen at resume".

you must make tea a lot. Are you British? :P

this past winter I was having anywhere from one to three cups :D

I like dunking peanut butter crackers in tea (like oreo's and milk).
 
like posted above,I think its coming on after your screensaver has kicked in.
did you try un-checking the password resume in screensaver tab?
 
This is the thing the tick box dont have a tick in it. If i was to play music would that stop it logging off. i need a solution. Ive looked on google but they all refer me to power options which is set to ALWAYS ON
