log on & PW -
I haven't ever used 7 but if parts are like xp , in control panel under display - screensaver settings - that is where you can change it to a longer time - or set it so you don't have to re log in upon resuming use.
If Win 7 control panel isn't the same at all - then do a google search for how to change the screensaver setting on win 7.
it's pretty similar-
[Here are steps to disable the password after waking from sleep.
1. Click Start.
2. Click Control Panel.
3. Click
Power Options.
4. Click on “Require Password on Wakeup” on the left pane.
5. Select the option “Don’t require a password.”
Note: when your computer wakes from sleep, anyone can access the data because the computer isn’t locked.]
and another setting to check -
[Go to the "Control Panel".
Click on "
Appearance and Personalization".
Click on "Change Screen Saver".
Unclick "On resume, display logon screen".
This will solve ALL the above problems.]
