Description

While I have blender on my HP Windows 7 laptop, I will leave for a while and my computer screen shuts off to save power, when I come back I can move my mouse but I cant do anything unless I click ctrl+alt+z. If you let wait long enough till windows locks you out of your account and you have to log back in, I think I works fine. I dont know if this is a bug or that blender uses alot of memory. But I thought I might tell you anyway just in case if there is a way to fix it.

Event Timeline

This sounds like a graphics card/driver problem.

Please add all your full system information to this report, as
mentioned in the bug reporting guidelines, such as OS, gfx card,
driver version, etc.

Try updating your drivers to the latest version, and also try
changing the Window Draw Method in User Preferences->System to
the other options.

Screenshots/videos would also help here.

It use to happen all the time but now it stopped doing that. I think it was my computer, because I set a screen saver up(I have no clue how that could affect it though)and it has not happend. If it ever happens again, I will give a more detailed description.

Thanks for reporting back. Since it doesn't happen anymore I'll close this report. If you ever see it happen again, feel free to report it as a new issue.

Thanks!
