[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1521853, member: 131855"] Did not think of this earlier but [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4014?viewlocale=en_US"]give these settings a look as well[/URL] if you haven't already. I'm not sure the following will work since I don't use Console much but this might be worth a try. The next time you are using the machine let it do its thing as usual. Once you notice that it has logged you out restart and check Console logs. See what messages were there between the time you walked away and the time it logged out. The entries during that time might give you a clue. Especially if you notice an entry right before logout. I am not sure which log it will be in but my bet is the System log. BTW Is there anything in Login Items for your account that might be causing this? [/QUOTE]
