Hopefully last question for a while... Switch User?

[Cream Soda]

Kk, got around my dead pixel, and the fomor bleeding black wavy background, but now I have one final problem with this monitor. It likes to put my computer in energy save mode or something of the sorts. Leaving it alone, after a while, it'll bring me to my "Switch User" screen (where it doesn't log me out leaves my programs running, but I have to log back in and it crashes ffxi). I have all the power options on my computer to go the max w/o going to sleep or hibernate after any amount of time, but I'm still finding myself at this screen. Is there something I'm overlooking that is making it do this?

Start > Control Panel > Display > Screensaver Tab > Uncheck On resume, Display Welcome Screen

hmm Will try that, but how do i prevent it from screen savering in the first place? I have my screen saver set on off and my computer sleep is set to never for both battery and for plugged in.

Control Panel -> Power Options -> Always On

EDIT: Sorry, that also defaults to a monitor off after 20 minutes. You will also have to manually set the monitor timer to none.

But really, you should let it do this. There is no harm in letting your monitor turn off, and it saves energy. (And less heating of the crystals, extending their life)

Don't seen an always on option, but this is the closest thing i could find to it, and this is what the settings were already on

It doesnt matter that the computer goes into screen saver mode or turns off the screen, its the fact of you having to click your name to log back into windows. I know this because when i'm using the computer, my dad has to come in and likes to switch to his damn name (technologically inferior) to print stuff and access his fav websites, then when I switch back I get error on FFXI


You can test it out yourself if you want, log into FFXI and turn the screen saver to 1 minute or some shit.

I'm not exactly following you here. I do know that going to that screen makes me crash, but I want to know why I'm going to that screen, as I have no settings that tell it to go to sleep or ect to bring me there, but it still goes. What would cause it to automatically go there on its own?

Start > Control Panel > Display > Screensaver Tab > Uncheck On resume, Display Welcome Screen

Is this checked?

[Cream Soda]

Yes it is, but that's for when i do set my screen saver (when i leave) so that nobody else tries to go on my computer w/o asking me first. I don't know why it would go to screen saver when I have no screen saver on, even if the box is checked.

How do you not have a screen saver? Have you tried unchecking the box to see that that was the issue?

The box has been off, but again that isn't my prob anyways (as i prefer it on as I've already said) As for the screen save. None is an option, which is the one I've chosen. (aka I don't have a screen saver)

Could either of those be your issue? (I'm thinking it might be the sleep, but Iunno how quickly your computer would wake up from sleep, I never use it cause I'm either at computer or I turn it off unless i'm only gone a few minutes, so never need it)
