By default is seems to be set a 5-10min or so, my wife want to know how to alter this setting. We have looked through "Help & Support", can't find what we are after there. Thanks in anticipation.

Have you actually checked to see whether the screensaver is set to "blank"? There is a setting in there: "On resume password protect" that makes it goes back to the logon screen. This could be what you are needing to change.	Susan B (19)
