Hiyas,
I just installed Win2000 Pro on my wife's comp. She plays Asheron's Call a lot and has a trade bot so she leaves the comp running often. She had WinME and I reformatted the hard disk and installed 2000. Now, whenever she leaves the comp idle for 15 minutes it locks out the account. I have gone to admin tools and changed the security policy to lock out after 2063 minutes but it still locks out in 15 and disconnects from her game. Helllllp!!!
If I cant correct this problem she will want WinME back and I will have to reformat every two months forever.
Thanks

no it just goes on standby and pauses the game, then you have to enter a password to get back into the account, which boots without a password to start with
I have also gone to power options and set standby to never

Try this..Go to Display properties, screensaver tab. Clear the check mark in the box next to "Prompt for password when computer resumes from standy" see it that works
