When I view a video it shuts me out. I set the video and (I try to sleep) then I am woke up because the video is no longer playing and my computer is showing the password page shown at start up. I have set all my energy saving points to 3 hours but this happens at about 1 hour. How do I stop this?

What app are you using to view the videos?

Check your screen saver settings - most video apps will disable this, but not all of them do.

Then check the Security and Privacy tab - it has a setting to require password "x" minutes after screen saver starts.
