Win XP Home with Multi User?

[Todd Reed]

I swapped to a newer CPU which is running XP Home with 3 user accounts.

After a short time, the machine switches back to the log in screen, showing the Girder user as "logged in"

Will G4.0.15 keep functioning properly, and how can I stop the auto log out feature?

I think this is one of the screensaver options - to disable it right click on the desktop and select properties, go to the Screen Saver tab and uncheck the 'On resume, display Welcome screen' option.

Girder should run happily in the background though.

**EDIT** Rob H beat me to it ;)

hi,

most likely the logging-out is caused by a windows setting.

Right click on your desktop and select properties. open the tab 'screensaver' and make sure the checkbox 'on resume password protect' is unchecked.

there are also other causes, which can be adressed via the advanced menu, but this is the most common one.

hope this helps ;)

Thanks! I fixed that, so we'll see.

What about Com ports, do they power off? I have a couple of scripts that get internet data every 15-30 minutes, triggered by a serial command from my Ocelot, which is on Com 1.

The Log Display showed very little activity over night!

I also noticed that there is a power setting on the network card, so I unchecked that and we'll try some more...

It is still not running my web access scripts, for weather and stocks!



--Script to grab Current Weather Conditions
--Add you Partner ID & License Key and Location Below
PartnerID = "ID"
LicenseKey = "Key"
Location = "USCA0406"

function Getweather()
CC = luacom.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument")
CC.async = 0
CC:load ("http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/"..Location.."?cc=*&prod=xoap&par="..PartnerID.."&key="..LicenseKey)

if CC.parseError.errorCode ~=0 then
print (CC.parseError.reason)
end
...

IE problem, or LUA or Socket.lua ??

Since I switch off the monitor, I can disable all power savings, if I can find them all...?!!@#$%&^
