Hi,
The number is in seconds. The launcher uses the windows InputTimer,
which is what windows uses for things like the screensaver. Usually the
only things that reset it are keyboard or mouse input however some apps,
especially mediaplayers, do reset this timer in order to keep a
screensaver for interrupting things.
What number is the timeout set to? I've certainly used it upto 20
minutes or so, but maybe there is an issue with really big times.

<p>Hi again guys, I've set up intranet launcher on each of my PC's

I'm experimenting with Kevin's gateway and Homevision Pro. When a<br>

This is working well but I'm struggling with the activity timeout<br>
setting in Intranet Launcher and what "activity" it
monitors.<br>
<br>
I can have the PC running a heavily cpu intensive application and
an<br>
xAP off message gets sent. Its still logged on, the screensaver
has<br>
not started and I don't think the incredibly long time out I've
set<br>
has expired.<br>
<br>
So I wonder if I can ask what the timeout is counting in and what<br>
constitutes activity please.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
