Nothing is shutting off. It just goes to the blue log-in screen after only a minute or so. I have looked in all the power options and haven\'t found anything. Only it logs off automatically. Weird stuff. Thanks!

Ever since I re-loaded XP after it crashed a few weeks ago, My pc automatically logs me off after only 1 minute. I only have to click on the desired user to continue, but I am unhappy with that. I have looked high and low for the menu to change the settings to no avail. Is there a way or a place (and I am sure there is) where I can change the time for it to log out from 1 minute to longer or never? It isn\'t in power options on the control panel. I was so happy to recover my hard drive that it didnt\' bother me at first. But now I am returning to my spoiled ways and I sure would like to fix it. Thanks my friend, crazy

Do you have much trouble with lightning striking the antennas? :blowup: Do you have a tv antenna up there as well? I think I would!

Hardware talk / Harddrive crashed, got it back by luck.
« on: May 13, 2007, 10:24:17 PM »
I have been having pc problems for a couple of weeks now. I ran several tests and it showed that I had over a thousand registry errors. Then I lost the harddrive search function. Then I lost system restore. This is on XP, by the way. I tried to run my XP disc and repair it, but it lost everything. about 6 years worth of work. I have never been so depressed about anything that wasnt\' family or health related. I was below down. Everyone I talked to told me that it was gone for good, no way to get it back. As a last resort I called up a local guy who works on computers. Other technicians told me it was hopeless, but not this guy. He said for $45 he would attempt to save all my info, and he felt he could because he has done this sort of thing many times. I had nothing to lose, so I sent it to him. He took the hard drive out, put it into one of his units, and he got everything back! :woohoo: For another $45, he added a 40 gig hard drive and ghosted my other one to it. I am amazed. He said he had some "special" software, but wouldn\'t talk about it. I still dont\' have all the bugs out, but it is back up and I have all my data, as far as I can tell anyway. I have been burning cd\'s like crazy. He burned me a dvd with all the stuff I asked for, in case it crashed again. The moral of the story is, back up your data, even if you have a stable system. THings can and do go wrong.

Open Chat / The Bird Feeder.. Just thinking..

It seems that everyone is owed something, or at least they think they are. When we become firm in our policies and stop all the handouts, maybe the magnet will turn off and the immigration will slow down. If not, we are going financially bankrupt, the nation is already spiritually bankrupt in my opinion.

Hardware talk / A good place to buy
« on: April 24, 2007, 06:44:29 AM »
I just bought a video card for my pc from Buy.com . They had free shipping and the price was cheaper or as cheap as anything I could find. Got it ASAP. The price range was from $54 to $85 for the same part #, same brand. They had the lowest at the $54. The free shipping sold me and I am back up to speed. Nothing but praise on this end. Thanks, crazy
