hello everyone,
I am new here and i need vista help
my laptop randomly started locking me out when i close my lid...well
not right away but about 3 to 5 mins in
i checked everything in the power options and users account and looked
over the close lid options and they are all fine
but it just keeps doing
i even did a system restore.....and nothing
does anyone know how to get rid of the locking
i don't want it at all
Vaughn

How do you "unlock" it to use your laptop again? Is the "close lid" option
configured to sleep, hibernate or something else?

Could it be the 'on resume display logon screen' option in Screen Saver
?
If it is ticked then clear the tick.
