Hi,
I have a new G4 ibook. About a week ago my computer started logging me out and restarting automatically if I was inactive for a while. Sometimes I catch a "warning screen" that gives me x seconds to cancel before the system will log out. Does anyone know how can I stop this from happening? I have my energy saver set to highest performance and to never sleep when inactive.

Thanks!
Sara

Assuming you are on Mac OS 10.3:

Go to [ System Preferences ]:
- Click on [ Security ]
- Disable last option ("Log out after [n] minutes of inactivity")
