    Hello

    I have this quite annoying problem and can't find a solution after extensive googleing: I run Windows 7 on my Parallels for Mac and everything works fine except one thing: Whenever I don't use any Windows software for about 10 to 15 minutes the Win7 logs off and I need to re-enter my password in order to use it again (what really sucks because my Outlook runs under Win7 so I won't even see when I get mail).

    Energy setting should be correct and the screensaver isn't turned on. I have no idea why windows is logging off.

    Any ideas..? Any help is much appreciated!

    As well

    Hi

    I also have this issue. If I am not using the PC part of parallels it will lock the virtual machine and I need to log back in.

    I use this for work and we have a 5 minute timer to cause this which is not an option to turn off.

    What I am trying to do is have the parallels virtual machine recognise mouse clicks and keystrokes from the mac machine and not lock me out.

    I would equally appreciate any assistance.

    Hi

    What I found out in the meantime is exactly the same (the log-off is caused by some internal security setting). So yes, sending clicks and keystrokes to windows in order to keep it logged on would be a nice workaround... please let me know if you find something.

    Thanks

    Unexplained crashes Windows 7

    Hi,
    I also have the problem that Windows 7, installed in the virtual machine crashes Parallels Desktop 6, single, without which there is a clear reason for it. I find it shameful that the makers of Parallels are not willing to take on problem requests. Even not at all free. Even gr0ße companies like Microsoft, offer a free service in the first 90 days. This still in German language, so even users who are not as fit in the English language, understand what's at stake. I have translated this post using Google. Sadly, that one is forced to. After all, the software is not cheap Parallels.
    I am curious if Parallels on this issue, which relates to other users also expressed.
