Why don`t you just turn off the screensaver and change the power settings? Check out this great tutorial/demo for Autoit: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=21048 2015 - Still no flying cars, instead blankets with sleeves.

vini Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 the screensaver is off and the power settings are set to never switch the monitor/hdd off. but with it being windows 2000 and on a domain, im not sure, but its locking out after so much inactivity. we display a static image on the screen and there is no keyb/mouse on the machine itself. anyway, ive nailed it, so thank you all for your help! much appreciated.
