    I have this annoying problem with Windows Vista Home Premium. Every few minutes my screen goes black. If I move my mouse or press a key I get the Switch User Screen. Then I press my user icon and return to where I was working. In a few minutes the screen goes black again. I added another user, and when I'm logged on to that user, it seems to work OK. This problem started a few weeks ago.

    Update - I add a new user, and the problem goes away. When I switch back to my original user, the problen persists.

    Type power in Vista's Start Search box, and at the top of the Start menu click on Power Options. Change your power settings to leave the display on for a longer time.
