Hi all,
This may seem like an insignificant question, but it has
been bothering me for a while now. I want to keep my
computer password protected so that when the screensaver
comes on you have to type in a password to get back in.
The problem is, for some reason the computer always
resets the time for the screensaver to come on to 180
minutes. I want to keep it at like 5 minutes, but no
matter what I do it always resets to 180. Does anyone
have any idea why this would be? Thanks!
