Hello All,

I hope that someone can help me with a power management issue on my X300.

When I leave the machine alone for a few minutes, I have to enter my password to regain access to the desktop. I have set the power management functions to "never" for display and hard disk "sleeping, but it doesn't seem to help. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Something simple, I'm sure.

PS - this was never an issue on my T61, so I'm wondering if it is something X300 specific.

Thanks

do you have a password set on your screensaver?

it's more than likely that when your screensaver goes in the system locks. I have mine enabled just so i don't have to manually lock it when i walk away sometimes and not remember to do so

Girlfriends like to snoop when i'm gone. Fingerprint readers are godsend!

That was it - thank you both!
