George,
If you look in the registry you can do a search for ScreenSaveTimeOut you will find
one of these for each user on your machine. Make sure that the ScreenSaveActive
is a "1" and ensure that the time is set correctly in "seconds" for example mine
is set at 1200 for "20 minutes" 600 would = 10 minutes. If you are unsure which
user you are looking at you can change the setting in the control panel, hit refresh
and you will see if it changes or not. Good luck!
