Hi, I was using yahoo messanger just now and was typing a message just like this when my computer suddenly went into standby mode (where power goes off and you have to unlock with your password). I am wondering why this happened. What is the shorcut for standby?? how could I have pressed it by accident? In the past, I have had random windows pop up while typing... and I kept typing so I selected a bunch of things I don't even know... which is annoying... but I don't understand how I could have gone into standby by accident. I'm suspecting a virus/hacker or something. Apprecite any comments. Thanks, Adam.

just because you are typing does not mean the system knows you are active. check your power settings and config as desired [like not go into standby] Golly gee wilerkers everyone! Learn to Internet Search

Right mouse click on your screen and go into Properties then Screen saver And check out the setting for standby. T-boy
