Okay, I figured out how to find the Power settings in windows 7 and I found where you can select it to either put a password word in when you wake it up, or you don't have to put a password in.

guess which little circle was selected?? DON'T PUT A PASSWORD

So how come I get prompted to put a pw in?

Aha A NEW CHALLENGE!!!

And I did the screensaver thing. Thanks for that. It won't prompt me every time it wakes up.

If I only have to do it first thing in the morning, that's no big deal. Thanks much.

And get ready for my post about what just happened with the computer guy!!!

OMG!!
