i know how to keep the system from sleepin,
go to control panel>power options>and deselect which devices you dont ever want turned off (i think windows has a couple selected by default)

dont think i read enough of your post
but hey, check it out any way, cause i think there is some default selections

ok i know that but I want my computer to sleep just taht before I use to come back after it slept and just move my mouse and im in now it makes a chime sound an dI have to click the user name each time manully. mayeb if I switch off that option i should just turn my monitor off manully to stop it

OK think I know what it might be under advanced the ticked box for password after stand by

[fkdup74]

have you tried user accounts>change the way users log on/off
(havent had to mess with this before.... )

errr....i think i should have thought of that, bbut i aint surre cause its only 5:30 am here and ive only had 1 cup of coffee so far

anyway thanks for the help it made me look there

[fkdup74]

hah hah made you look! (j/k)
that was just the 1st thing that came to mind cause i'd leave my comp on to, like, take a shower, get some grub, whatever, and i'd come back to that feckin blank screen (stand by mode) and sometimes i had k++ runnin with someone uploading from me, so it cut them off, and thats kinda rude
(and like i said, only had 1 cup o joe so far )
