    Well, I have had another VISTA comp and didnt have this issue. I swear I have turned off everything under POWER setting that turns off screen or logs off... But after a bit it logs me off and puts me on the screen to insert my password or take a pic to log back in. Is there a area I am missing that I need to turn off so it doesn't do this when my comp is idle for a bit? Thanks.

    There are a couple of things, check your screensaver settings, and check your power4gear profiles, though these are usually the same as the ones in the windows power configuration. For Vista you have to change the settings for each profile. Also power4gear doesn't automatically save your settings, so you have to make sure to save any changes you make from the file menu or something (I forget exactly).

    P4G does save changes, but you need to hit the Save button for every single power profile, because when you switch profiles without saving it loses the changes. Even when you switch from the plugged in to the battery mode under the same power setting, you need to hit Save first to keep your changes.
