After 60 seconds idle, Vista locks itself, same as hitting windows button + L, or ctrl-alt-del and clicking 'Lock This Computer'. Screen saver is off, and power saver settings are all set to 'never'. It wouldn't be those anyways because it goes directly to the password screen. It doesn't go black and wait for input. I am on a home computer as admin. This just started with a recent Windows update so I'm thinking of just rolling that back.
