"Thinks" error.

I wasn't sure where to post this, software, desktop or Lenovo. But since Lenovo bought the ThinkPad line, I think it should also deal with the errors

I've been a ThinkPad fan ever since the T40s and been on one since. I finally bought my first Lenovo Destop. A ThinkCentre M. I've been getting this error message whenever I keep the desktop idle for over an hour. Can anyone explain please? First I get the error in top left corner of the screenshot of not being able to create a file, then the access violation error, then the think tab stays on the taskbar.

I'm at work with minimal privelages, I'm pretty sure that's the reason. The domain is not letting my PC write in it's own temp file?!?!? How can I get over this or make the PC stop trying to write? Whatever the solution, this is just irritating!

Help, please.

 

Could be one of many causes. Basically there is some error in that screensaver that's causing it to access locations in memory that it doesn't have access to, which is why you only see it when your computer goes idle. Pure speculation, but it may be trying to write a temp file, not catching the fact that the file couldn't write, and then trying to read that file it was supposed to have written.

 

So turning off the screen saver would solve the problem, or at least stop popping the error message?

 

Probably. Give it a go.

 

Yes! It's working! All I did was change the screensaver to the default windows XP one and voila. Thanks nicodemus and rep to you!
