Here's my problem:

I'm performing some video conversions that take a long
time to process, but when I leave XP running without any
direct input from me, it eventually shifts back to the
initial user logon screen, which causes a program crash.
How can I disable this "time out" function?

Hi Michael,

Right click on the desktop and select properties. Flip to the screensaver
tab and uncheck "On resume...."
