vista - everything goes away


Question Posted Wednesday March 5 2008, 4:57 pm

I recently got a new computer - it is Dell and has Windows Vista. Both my parents and I have our own usernames. We leave the computer on 24/7, and I leave AIM signed on, and sometimes I leave me iTunes open or internet explorer open also. But it seems that after I switch user names when I'm done, and the computer goes idle on the same screen, when I go back on the computer x hours later.. everything I had up is gone. I think it only happens wehn the computer "sleeps," but how can I cahnge this? My old computers never did this. Is there a setting or something I can set?
