Screen is locked after about 5 mins

How do I prevent my screen from being 'locked'?

I get a screen after about 5 mins of the laptop being idle that it is locked, cant see anything in the control panel for turning this off. I just want the screen to stay visble

Hi,

XP or Vista?

If you are using XP go to Control Panel -> Power Options and make the changes there.

In Vista go to the Control Panel -> System & Maintenance -> Performance Info & Tools -> Adjust Power Settings -> Advanced Settings and make the changes there for each of your Power options.
